I Count

I don’t understand you, and it seems as if I never will.

That’s O.K. though.

You see, it doesn’t matter to me anymore.

I don’t need to or want to fit in with your kind.

If I have to act like you to fit in, I don’t want to.

Even though you don’t accept me, I have plenty of people that do.

You wouldn’t understand that though.

You think that if you don’t accept someone, they don’t count,

When, in fact, it’s the exact opposite.

It’s people that think that way that cause the problems.

That means, if any one should not count, it’s you.

I hope you can understand that,

But if you can’t, that’s fine.

I can deal with that because,

I know I count.
