“Do you ever feel like a misfit? Everything inside you is dark and twisted? Oh, but it’s okay to be different because baby so am I” — Ava Max in the song ‘So am I’

Finding comfort and peace in outraging darkness

Heartbreaking silent cries with immutable finesse

My uniqueness, a norm-breaking characteristic

The world can’t handle for she is gravely basic

In light I smile without traits of uneasy distress

At the sight of one who understands the smile is less

My silence, they interpret as awfully weak

Underneath is a delightful dreadful streak

Solitude I embrace with wholesome gladness

Alone but no single bit of lugubrious loneliness

My gentle words, attention they inconspicuously seek

Causing society to repeatedly peek
