Please don't judge what you don't understand.

You make fun of what I think.

I can say it doesn't bother me,

But it would be a lie.

I shouldn't have to lie.

But you and I are different.

We believe in different things.



Please don't laugh at my feelings.

That hurts more than words can say,

So I can't say.

And you don't know how I feel,

No matter how much I wish you did.

Because you and I are different,

We believe in different things.



Please don't assume I'm joking.

Many times when you do I'm serious.

It takes a lot for me to be so open,

and when you think it's a joke,

I don't laugh- I'd rather cry.

Because you and I are different,

We believe in different things.



Please don't avoid me when I'm upset.

I'd rather talk to you.

Why do you think I blame you?

Sometimes I blame myself

For not telling you how I really feel.

But you and I are different,

We believe in different things.
