Slowly I fade
into the dark gray.
I failed to be made
for fun and for play.
If I were given a grade
I know what they'd say.
"you always had a braid
messed up with clay."
"Now you are paid
to smile all day."
Slowly I fade
into the dark gray.
I failed to be made
for fun and for play.

I decided to show everyone that you are not alone, there are others out there in the world who are different too. Always be yourself, never follow someone's rules. Be your own person.
