Strange

Doing things
Others don’t
Don’t be afraid
To be different
We all
Follow dreams
Don’t remind yourself
Where you should be
But you need to
Like anyone
Follow through
Make sure
Everything’s
All right
Make sure
You know every step behind your back
Make sure
You know how
Friends
Really
Feel
But if you’re the friend
Of someone odd
Just make sure
You follow
Through
And through
Make sure you know
Everything
Just everything
That you need to know
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be left behind
Don’t try to change
The different one
Don’t be that person
To hurt her feelings
Don’t try to
Pick and pretend
But look inside
And you will see
That difference
In heart
That’s important
If you can’t see
Into the heart
You need to change
Yourself
‘cause
You can’t stand her
You can’t hang enough
Neither one of you
Understands
What has happened
You could blame it on each other
And you would be partially right
Because
Its both of your faults
No one can read the other
No one is predictable
No one is perfect
Just try to be
Some one who
Makes everyone feel good
And reaches out
So that people know
That everyone
Can see
Anything
That they want
That they need
In this person
In any person
If you
Just try
And look
Close enough
You might find
You’re new best friend
Or someone to hang with
When you’re bored
Or upset and annoyed
Its funny how
Some are blind
Don’t say you aren’t
Most are
You need to understand
Even the odd girls
Have troubles
Have feelings
Have a life
Whether it’s like yours
I don’t know
But does it really matter
If you are or they are different
Does it matter
How they do in school
How they look
If you can look
Inside
Find your way
Read her
You can
Get her
Even though you are different
You can buy her with some friendship there
Some fun times here
But don’t abandon her afterwards
Just because she doesn’t know
What she is
Who she is
What she’s gonna be
Or if she decides
That something
Different
Is for her
Or that she is different than you thought she would be
Because
She’ll stay at your side
When you’re in trouble
She will make sure you aren’t hurt too much
If she can help it
She may be a tomboy
You may be a fashionista
But you are still the same
You have the same
Things
That made you friends before
They’re just hidden
Now
If you’re the odd one
Singled out
Yelled at every mistake
And misunderstood
You need to do the same things
That the friend does
You need to work together
You may not think
You are this one
You may think
That you’re just fine
That’s great
Follow the same rules
As before
As everyone else should
Just keep looking around
For those odd people singled out
Odd like you
Or
Maybe you think not
With something
To bond with
Like anyone
Who has feelings
Like anyone inside
Is strange and crazy
Some people show crazy
But no one shows
The inside
From their rough and tough shell
Like a turtle
Soft on the inside
Just make sure
When you poke through
Don’t hit the wrong spot
Or you’re gonna
Be in some trouble with
Their outer shell
So
Watch out
Beware
Follow through
And make sure
The odd ones
With you.
