different.

i walk through halls where all look the same,

smiles and chatter, caught in a familiar game.

they laugh, they scroll, their talks feel thin,

no one digs deep, no one lets me in.

i came here last year, still feel apart,

carrying questions that weigh on my heart.

while they all blend, i stand alone,

a mind that wanders, a heart full grown.

they chase the surface, i seek the deep,

their shallow rivers, my oceans keep.

but we both know i’m just a dog chasin’ its bone,

searching for a place that feels like home.

and though i’m different, i feel no shame,

i won’t trade thought for their hollow game.
