I Am the Same Inside

I am the same inside,
as some people can see.
But some people think I’m weird
because they don’t look inside of me.

I am the same inside.
That’s what I want people to know.
So I’m going to start
letting it show.

I am the same inside.
I’m not dumb in any way.
I just want to be like
a normal kid and play.

I am the same inside,
just like a normal kid.
And I want to let everybody know,
this is what I did.
