Phenomenal Poem by Neeraj Kumar

I'M NOT CRAZY
I'M JUST DIFFERENT
I THINK ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS
OF WHICH A NORMAL PERSON PROBABLY DOESN'T.
THE KIDS AT MY SCHOOL USED TO BULLY ME AND CALL ME A FREAK
SOME OF THEM EVEN USED TO BEAT ME IN STREETS
BUT I NEVER COMPLAINED AT HOME
I JUST USED TO WRITE AGGRESSIVE SONG.
I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL HOW FEAR TURNS INTO STRENGTH
THE MORE THEY WERE HATING ME
THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE JUST ONLY MAKING ME STRONG.
REAL WORLD IS CRUEL
IT'S NOT LIKE FAIRY TALE
THE MORE YOU SUFFER
THE MORE YOU GAIN.
I JUST NEEDED AN OPPORTUNITY
JUST A CHANCE
THE SAME KIDS WHO USED TO BULLY ME AT SCHOOL
NOW WAIT IN LINES JUST TO SHAKE HAND.
YES I'M PHENOMENAL
AND I AIN'T AFRAID TO SAY IT
CUZ I'VE SEEN THE REAL WORLD.
TIME CHANGES
AND PEOPLES TOO
I LEARNED THAT FROM SOME OF MY FRIENDS
THAT THEY COULD BE YOUR WORST ENEMY TOO.
I HOPE YOU'LL BE INSPIRED BY MY WORDS
IF YOU'RE DIFFERENT
DON'T BE AFRAID TO SAY IT
TELL THE WHOLE WORLD
I'M PHENOMENAL!
