I don't belong, so they say

In a world that's black and white

Where the rules are set in stone

And there's no room for what's not right


I am different, that is true

In the way I think and feel

In the way I see the world

And what I know is real


I don't fit in, so they say

In a world that's so defined

Where everyone must follow

And leave their dreams behind


But I refuse to change myself

To fit into their mold

I'll carve my own path in life

And let my story unfold


For though I may not belong

In their narrow, rigid view

I know I have a place

In the world that's bright and new


Where creativity thrives

And diversity is key

A world that celebrates

The uniqueness in you and me


So I'll embrace my differences

And hold my head up high

For though I don't belong

I'll still spread my wings and fly.
