Most People
I like people.
Most people.
And like most people
I want to be liked.
It would be easier to like me if I liked the things most other people like,
But I don’t.
I’m a person born with an abnormal personality,
Abnormal as defined by the majority,
But like the majority of people I cannot help what I like
Or what I’m like.
I like people.
Most people.
And because most people want to be liked,
I bet you like most people too.
Especially if you’re like most people
And like the things they do.
Most people are more alike
than they’d like to admit
Especially if they dislike different things.
But if you’re not like other people,
Not liked by most other people,
That’s okay.
Because strange people seem
To find strange ways
To come together over
All the strange things they enjoy
And I like that, too.
I like people.
Most people.
What about you?
