Original Poetry - If I Were Like Everyone Else

If I were like everyone else
you couldn’t tell us apart
you’d miss my sense of humor
my shy smile

If I were like everyone else
You wouldn’t know me
because I wouldn’t be unique
the man you fell in love with

If I were like everyone else
life would be boring
we wouldn’t get the same jokes
or the puns we toss at each other

If I were like everyone else
maybe I’d still be there
but I am my own person
And I cannot be who I am not.
