The Lion's Pride Volume 10 (Spring 2018) | Page 45

I am not one of you because I don’t stand up for myself
I am not one of you because I do stand up for myself
I am not one of you because I am not the favorite
I am not one of you because I am not from there
I am not one of you because I am not your friend
I am not one of you because I am not your enemy
I am not one of you because I do not listen
I am not one of you because I am afraid
I am not one of you because I will take your hand
I am not one of you because I choose to be one of my own
