An Emo's Agony: Thank You

I'm moping in the middle of a swarm of teenagers of all age. They are laughing loudly, teasing boldly, and doing different kinds of silly things. For short, they are enjoying life. I call them "normal" and that's the trait that I find hard to gain. I want to be normal too.

Being not normal doesn't mean that I am handicapped, have a malignant disease, or physically impaired. You may find me weird by the way that I define it from my own vocabulary. I used to give meaning to things connotatively and deeply. I used to perceive things rather differently from the rest. That character of mine made people regard me differently. I know that no one can actually understand every bit of me and my actions but the way they treat me and judge me is quite too much for my heart to bear. It isn't my fault to be emotional, is it? Just because I live in a world where in we have different viewpoints doesn't mean that I have to change being the real me and start adapting their way of thinking. In the smallest sense, I think that being someone like me is rather better than others. I can say that by having proofs that most of those normal people doesn't care whether they are already hurting you with their words. I'm both an emo and a human and I know that my mortal nature will always get the best of me. A little hint of judgment also passes my mind a couple of times but before I will settle into a hasty conclusion, I would find myself trying to wear the other person's shoe. Then I would try to understand them.

What is wrong with acknowledging the thought that I am emotional? What is wrong with sharing the thoughts that are running in my mind? Don't laugh at me like I'm some sort of a fool because you don't know what things I'm going through. I'm emotional but not easily irritated. I'm vulnerable but not that easily permeable. I'm weak but not malleable. Treat me just as fairly. I'm human too. What's stupid with being an emo? You're the ones who made me like this. Nonetheless, I thank you. This emo thing is the one that made me see the world in the broadest sense. I don't think as shallow as you do.
