Yes, I'm different

They say I don't do this
I don't do that
They say I don't share their feelings
Hold their beliefs
They ask why I'm not interested in
what's everyone's favorite
They wonder I don't enjoy
what everyone does
So what?
I'm not like them
Yes, I'm different
different from everyone else

I have my own interests
to derive the pleasures from
I behave in my own way
idiosyncratic and difficult to comprehend
I deviate from them
in all the possible forms
I live life on my own terms
dance to my own rhythms
abide by self made rules
that's what...
I'm not like them
Yes, I'm different
different from everyone else

They might call me maniac
narcissistic or self obsessed
They might perceive me desolate
sulky, aloof or depressed
Such are they
with limited sight
Aware of my actions, confident of myself
I would let them say
whatever pleases them
since perceptions don't matter
my dreams won't shatter
Right that
I'm not like them
Yes, I'm different
different from everyone else
