Just because I’m deep

Doesn’t mean that I am boring

Doesn’t mean that I hate everybody

And doesn’t mean that I don’t need support

 

Just because I’m fierce

Doesn’t mean that I an unfriendly

Doesn’t mean that I am dangerous

And doesn’t mean that I am unfeeling

 

Just because I’m like anime

Doesn’t mean that I am weird

Doesn’t mean that I have no similar interest as others

And doesn’t mean that I deserve to be put down

 

Just because I’m deep

Why do others judge me?

Why do they think I’m unfeeling?

Why do they think I don’t need help?

If only they got to know me better
