When You're Different

When you're different people don't see a person They see entertainment A walking punch line

Your pain and misery Your anguish and anger Are a comedy to them One at which they can laugh

When you speak out It's you against them You raised your voice first So it must be all your fault

But it's not your fault There's nothing wrong with you You're just different And I still believe in you
