Life is hard.

 My life has been pretty hard in particular.

 I was

born....different.

 Unlike most of my adopted family, it was

obvious from the start.

But I managed.

I used my "gifts" in the

service of helping others like me, and trying to get the ones who

weren't to understand us.

Throughout my many set backs, I've

tried to stay positive.

I've had many friends who've had it worse,

my pal, the movie stars had a pretty rough go of it as well.

 But

secretly, I just wanna be normal.

My body continues to

change, and despite my best efforts, theres nothing I can do

about it.

Who am I?
