Attend school without fail
I try to please those around me
I'm nicer than those who try
What is wrong with me
Am I that unpleasant to be around
Do I smell bad
Just LISTEN to me

You will see that I care about you
You will see that I am an awesome and unique
I smell of cotton candy
I am pleasant to be around
And nothing is wrong with me

Don't you understand
I am me myself and I
Sometimes striving to be like everyone else doesn't work
Just lighten up and be yourself
Someone has got to like you for who you are

The author's comments:
I am tired of getting weird glances from those around me. I just want someone to like me for who I am, not for what I pretend to be.
