"Different"
by Vanessa Diaz

I stand alone
With no one to hold me
Im different, I have no clone
Different like a red snake on a green tree
Everyone is unique 
No two people are the same
Please don't critique
Everyone one has a different face, race, and name
Dont judge me by the way I look, think, or feel
Words cause the biggest pain
Pain impossible to heal
My beauty goes beyond the face
Take time and read my heart 
Were not in a hurry, this isn't a race
And if it is it's not yet going to start
I have a different birthplace
I have a different face
I'm different
