I'll be me.

I've always been a bit of a strange one, I'm still somewhat an outcast.
Your meaning is different to what I call fun, but I can deal with the minor contrasts.
I'm told my looks and beauty can stun, but I've a mind that is what shall surpass.
Either keep up or be outdone; in the long run I'll always outlast.

I don't mind, just now and then when I can relax all day at home.
After a while, and over again , well then I'll start to feel alone.
Its not a thing that I would mention, even when it cuts me to the bone.
I'm not one to seek attention, so you'll unlikely hear me moan.

Day to day, I'm getting by; I've got my goals and I have a dream.
My ways may change, but never I. But may I say; I'm not what I seem.
Too quickly I am judged, almost every single time. Stereotypes do define me, in whichever way you deem.
But I can take this, I won't whine, I have faith in my own mind. 
For this reason, I know in time;
The worlds gonna look and they'll see me, out there taking another for our team.
And I'll be smiling, just being me.
