Differences

You and me seem to be so similar; we have so much in common.. everyone gets us confused. But if they were to look closer, they would see we’re really nothing alike. The way we view the world and the way we respond are nothing alike whatsoever. It’s almost insulting that people would think we’re the same, because when I look at you, I see all the qualities that I don’t want to have…the qualities that I hate in others. I wish people would stop saying how much we’re alike; I wish they’d stop comparing us and looking for every similarity we have. I wish they would stop comparing me altogether and just accept that I’m me, my own person, and that’s all. Pleas, just see me for me. For who I am, and not who I’m like. If they would only look a little bit deeper. If they would take a moment to see the real me.

If only I would let them.
