Human things

Boys don't do that

None does

It’s not a gender thing

It’s a human thing

As far as I know

I’m failing

 

None pays all their attention

To the way they walk

And how they talk

Not as much as me

 

All I've learnt

Is that I'm strange

In the way I walk

And the way I talk

None does the same

 

It just means I'm unique

But it makes me feel 

Like I'm crazy

Why is it only ever me
