I am Different


I am flawless-

Because I am indestructible, I am brave, I am a lion

 

no

 

Because I am a world-changer, I am special, I am smart

 

no

 

I am flawless because I am REAL

I am not a product of others' expectations

I do not care what others think

I do not wear a mask

I am

 

 

~ f r e e ~

 

 

I may not be loved by the world,

But I don't want to be like the world anyway.

 

I am D I F F E R E N T:

I care for those who don't care

I love those who hate

I smile at those who glare

I calm the irate

I speak truth to those who lie

I encourage those who feel like dirt

I believe in those who are shy

I heal those who don't know they're hurt

 

 

I am different – and I will make a difference.
