I am as special you

I am as special you,
I may not be as happy,
Or see good in what I do,
But I am still special.

I am as special as you,
But I know how things go,
I know what’s true
In love, life and death.

I am as special as you,
When things go bad,
I don’t bother to purse,
Causing more pain.

I was only trying to keep you safe,
So you never had a clue,
Because even though I hurt myself,
I am as special as you.
