I like being me

I know I am different
accept me for my differences
I do not strive to be
one of the crowd
this has never been my goal
hardships and pain
have created me as I am
but love too...
One makes me indestructible
one makes me care
to flower in the sunlight
take time to know
the real me
not the facade I put up
to protect the inner self
I like being different
I like being... me.
