How To
Be Different
by Jalen Bayani
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking throughout the streets of town
Always the same as people around
Wanting to know how to be different
Always tried and tried but failed
Knowing that this would never happen
My eyes and heart started to blacken
From the trying and failing I've done
Once came a day of staring
Scared but happy I had been noticed
As if young ones thought that “I” was the oldest
I felt so weird that people were staring
I felt oddly happy and now I'm running
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A
combination of a free verse and a (somewhat) formal poem
