Ser Diferente

I wanna stop being who I am, I gotta change
Because if not, others will never accept me

And now I know that being different is what led me to be
Everything I once dreamed of
And even if it took too much time
Now I understand that it's okay

But despite everyone saying you're not normal
Who decides what's right or wrong?
Live as you want, do what you want
Because you are who you are and no one can change that

I've been pretending to be someone I'm not for so long
As if I didn't know my worth or where I'm going
But I've been conditioned by everything around me
So much so that I forgot what I really wanted

I've felt bad for being different from everyone
And not in a good way, but being the odd one out
I never quite fit in or was what I should be
But today I accept who I am and I won't try
To please people who did nothing for me
If you don't like me, look away

I don't have to be like everyone else
So focus on your life and let others live

I never liked all the things that others
Found so fun to try
Rather than going out partying, drinking, or doing drugs
I preferred staying locked up at home composing art

And yes, I'm as antisocial as I am depressive and misanthropic
So shy, with anxiety, my mood always fails me
The target of every bully and the weirdo of the group
But I have a brighter future than all of you combined

And yes, I felt marginalized
Yes, I wanted to commit suicide
I thought it was so bad
Not fitting into society
But today I don't worry at all about this
Because all geniuses are always different from the rest

And now I know that being different is what led me to be
Everything I once dreamed of
And even if it took too much time
Now I understand that it's okay

But despite everyone saying you're not normal
Who decides what's right or wrong?
Live as you want, do what you want
Because you are who you are and no one can change that
