Different Than You

Why is it that so constantly,

I find you looking down on me?

Why is it that no matter what I do,

I am marked as different than you?

For me, the difference is taken in stride.

Actually, it's more a badge of pride.

We are all different, yet all the same,

God made me, yet you can't blame,

Him, who made you, almost the same.

You say I'm odd, I say unique,

What does it matter, with the future so bleak?

So go right ahead, criticize me!

Really, how hard can it be to see,

that I'm not gonna be along for a ride

That is as constant as the tide.

I want to make my own path.

Dont you see? It's simple math.

The road less traveled is rare to find,

but he who cuts his own, has his own mind.

I really like the content of this poem particularly the last three lines. I think a way to fix the syntax a little would be to remove some of the punctuation so the reader can establish their own flow.
