I am Smiling

I am smiling
because I am different
I chose to stand out
I am glad you choose to laugh at me
rather me than someone else
I hold my head up high
I walk tall
knowing that
I can laugh at you
who tries to be a cookie cutter person

I used to be you
trying to fit in
but I discovered
that fitting in
is losing your self

So here I am
Proud to be different
proud to have the
courage to be my own person
Proud to have people stare
Proud to be me
