I am and will never be a follower
I am and will never be a wallflower
It is not in my nature, not in my skin
I am different than I look or seem
I feel lost but I know exactly where I stand
I feel childish but am complemented for my maturity
I care for those I have never met
I fear for those I know nothing about
I worry about things that may never happen
I cry for those who’ve died, who I shall never know
I weep at the thought of regret
Life is too short for regret
Life is too short to weep about regret
Sometimes I just look in the mirror and cry
I cry to release pent up emotion
I hate to cry
I feel I have no reason to cry
But I know it’s a lie
And I wonder
I wonder if anyone will understand
Could anyone love me the way I want to be loved?

I really like this poem :]
I love the contradictory aspects of it.
Its very touching.
Within the randomness and thoughts that you speak of, there is a clear message.
I got the message of "You lovingly hate being different and you long to find someone who is different from you that will love you for the different view of love that you hold close to your heart." -
