How


Dare to be different Dare to be you but my dear, how will you get there misunderstood and shushed at times quieted and put out mind questions of how and why arise but no one understands what's quiet on your mind turn to mom, turn to dad, turn to grandma and see sad in their eyes it's hard to ask for help when you notice that your resources are drained yet they give and they give and you dare to change change for the better change for the world change for them all but it's hard to get there how will you make it, when it's hard to fake it real is in your mind but on the real there's nothing you think and you think but nothing comes about at times you swear you just want to shout but you must be strong and not cry at times you may even appear shy watching and waiting and granting your teeth my dear you have many problems that are near but there's no need to fear one day you'll get there and you'll face your problems without a tear in your eye you'll help mom and dad and give thanks to grandma you strut and you'll shout because you are a stand-out so don't cry now hold you head up high there's no need to ask why nor how what you do you'll do well and you know how because you were born with a gift and have one special wish confused but not broken dreams shatter but not scattered the pieces are all there because you my dear have nothing to worry and nothing to doubt so please don't shout till you know what it's all about smile on good days and don't fret the bad just be glad that you have somewhere to rest your head though scared at times don't load your mind my dear you are special my dear you'll be fine so please, please, please rest your mind
