They always said I burned a different way and when I light up everyone who choose to ignore me.
Would stop what they were doing and stop and stare like for the first time they were seeing me for me.
And I wasn’t ugly or strange anymore for they finally saw the beauty of me and it wasn’t just within me.
I always enjoyed their looks of awe but, I’ve always known that I wasn’t something to look away from and even though it took them this long.
I wouldn’t mind if they never saw me for what I am for I know the only thing that matters is how I see my self at the end of the day.
