me

Yes sir, I am different
And some may say I am weird.
I will study for fun on weekends.
And to my friends this is significant.

I may be different, yes
But in my soul I love to have fun.
But fun is different to me,
Just as it is for everyone.

All of them may tell me that I should play Fortnite,
But that's not what I want to do,
I would rather wake early morning,
and start trying to write

So yes sir, I am different in the soul
Than what most think a kid should.
But in the end I am still human,
And I am still good.

    In retrospect, I realize that in the forth line i probably should have replaced 'significant' with 'quite weird'

    Your sense of your own identity is calm but strong. I especially like the phrase "fun is different to me" because it is so concise. Well done!

    I'm glad someone was able to be creative with my submitted idea! The message is great -"And I am still good", no matter what you like to.

    Thank you for writing this.
