I was always regarded
as the strange one,
I always kept to myself
not needing to follow the sun.
I was thought as someone
who was always a bit different,
a person best ignored
and treated as insignificant.
I never had a great job
or the luxury of a lot of money,
the butt of jokes that
I never found funny.
But now I have decided
that I want to be heard
it’s time to stand up for myself
and separate from the herd.
They will have to take me
for what I truly am
and if they can’t handle that,
I couldn’t give a damn.

I was always the odd one out in the family. Because I wasn’t needy and didn’t depend on others it was considered by family and relatives that I didn’t need love and support. I managed to survive and cope without them.
