Different.

Being different can lead

to the constant feeling of

no where to escape,

no one to trust,

ALL time is a waste .

But what we must learn

what we must believe:

different is special,

different is incredible,

different is unique.

Accents lead to stories

of cultures unknown.

Quiet observers lead to

new perspectives and

breakthrough stepping stones.

We must open our hearts

to these few outcasts

we must break

through the barriers

of prejudiced pasts.

A single smile can shatter

through the darkness,

through the crowd of stone

and save the diamonds

from the world of “alone”.
