Your Weird. My Normal.
Everyone has their trait
But I can't be described
They say opposites attract
When I am neither side
If I dare express myself
I am labeled as strange
Society puts a force on me
Sort of a pressure to change
They treat me as a carni
A freak among the freak
My passion is "different"
That just means I am unique
You say I'm inappropriate.
Offensive and Informal
But I'd rather be your weird
Than ever your normal
But I can't be described
They say opposites attract
When I am neither side
If I dare express myself
I am labeled as strange
Society puts a force on me
Sort of a pressure to change
They treat me as a carni
A freak among the freak
My passion is "different"
That just means I am unique
You say I'm inappropriate.
Offensive and Informal
But I'd rather be your weird
Than ever your normal

Great poem, especially love the rhyme scheme.
Since you asked for honest critique, I'll give a little: the last line might do better as "Than ever be your normal".
Outstanding write! I look forward to reading more of your work!

Hell yeah! This one is awesome! Much better to be yourself than try to live up to ridiculous societal standards.
