Different

I've always felt like this.

     I feel different when I'm with my friends I feel like they have to dumb stuff down, I forget their names but what I know I will never forget is that they will never understand what I go through. It's tough going through a life of blurred memories always forgetting their birthday they get mad I get sad I tell them what I have but they don't listen they never listen I'm always there for them but they are not there when I need them I play it off make a couple of jokes I never even told them it was my birthday I don't think I've ever complained about my birthday I just let it go because I feel I deserve that pain sometimes they don't understand me I know I used to complain about my birthday but I realized there are people like me they are different only if I could have friends like them then they wouldn't think I was different would they?

again I wrote this in grade nine but it still applies to my life right now.
