                                              WORDS OF THE LIVING 
                          (BEING DIFFERENT)
                          I know you
You will say
Poetry, eww
I let your insults hurt but not today
                          I have found my sovereign voice 
Listening to you is MY choice 
A Broken record is what you are
A dusty box, a rusty nail 
A scar that has long since healed
This ship has long since sailed 
                          I have found the words on my lips
Transferred to my fingertips 
I don't need no support or structure 
My hands are at the holy altar 
                          There are those that will second guess
Call me 'nerd', 'moron' and the rest 
But I won't let these sink in
Because now I know I will always win
                          There are those who criticise
But now all the hate surely dies
I am a freak I am a jerk 
But I am proud of it 
At least I'm not afraid of being different 
And Standing out
