Succeed as Yourself

Fight for the things that you believe in.
Don't let life's hardships beat you down.
You are not a failure until you give up.
Work hard and fight for your dreams.

Good things in life come with a price tag.
Pay the price for all that matters to you.
Some things that are worth the high cost.
Never settle for being average or normal.

Normalcy is overrated and for the sheep.
Be true to and celebrate your unique self.
Strive to be who you want to be always.
Don't listen to the naysayers and criticizers.

You will be unhappy living for someone else.
Not everyone is meant to be the same person.
We are all unique like the snowflakes falling.
Love who you are and be proud of your beliefs.

Feathers Of A Different Color

My feather is wild colored, narrow, and long.
My colors are not normally found in nature.
I am dyed, groomed and worn to perfection.

I am as uniquely patterned as a snowflake.
No two feathers are identical to each other.
Some are solid and others are patterned.

Some come from birds, others are manmade.
We all are our own beautiful image to behold.
Even when we are not considered trendy.

Whether feathers are in or not, we are still there.
Fishermen use us to help lure fish onto their lines,
Others wear us as accessories with their outfits.

Only the most beautiful prized ones are chosen.
The rest of us "rejects" are thrown into the trash.
All the pain of being plucked from birds useless.

No one stops to think where we really come from.
We help keep the birds warm and with their flying.
Many birds die when we are forced off of them.

Think some before wearing me or using me again.
I am more than just a feather to be used by you.
I am also something that the birds need to live.

Me, Myself, and I, a Response to Those Who Want Me To Be Like Them

Me: Why is this girl yelling at me to stop being so wierd and giving me the death stare?
Myself: Maybe I did something that made her mad.
I: She must be a brainwashed conformist who only likes people who are exactly like her.

Me: Hmm, good point I. Not everyone appeciates my point of view.
Myself: Maybe I should apologize to her and say that I am sorry that I offended them.
I: Who cares what she thinks. What does she know about me and who is she to judge me?

Me: Myself needs to be more sure of themselves. I don't expect her much less most people to understand or accept me.
Myself: I just don't want to offend her or anyone else.
I: Being different means some are going to be offended when you are simply being yourself. Personally I think she is a brainless moron who does not like anyone who is not like exactly like her.

Me: No kidding, some are just offended by anything that they do not understand. Honestly I don't care what she thinks, I just wonder why she has to yell at me rather than talk rationally to me.
Myself: This is getting too confrontational, I am going to get going now. See you all in another part of the mind.
I: Me, lets just tell her what we think of her shallow, drone-like ways and then never speak to her again. We don't need negativity and nasty words from these fools.

Me: I, that sounds like a plan. She can go somewhere where darkness lurks around her and causes her to get lost. I hope someone does this to her one day, so that she can understand what it feels like to not be accepted.
I: Lets go grab a snack and hang out with those who get who we are, the few that exist.

Me: Okay, I will call myself and see if she wants to tag along.
I: That would be fantastic.

Stopping the Shallow Judgements

Many people are walking around our neighborhoods.
They come in different colors, shapes, and sizes.
Most of them are perfectly decent, caring people,
Yet we judge many of them based on their appearance.

Often we hear people call someone fat, anorexic, tall,
short, weird, a freak, crazy, and all sorts of other insults.
We also judge individuals for simply being themselves
.
Honestly, we are all to be unique and not like anyone.
We are not clones manufactured in a factory by machines,
We are creatures handcrafted by the universe’s creator.
So tired of these petty, shallow judgments made by others.

One should not be made fun of for being who they are.
Teasing one for their differences is like being in denial,
Denying that we are not the same as the person on TV.

Lets go back to looking at others based on how they act,
And the deeds they do for themselves as well as other people.
Appearances should not be a factor when choosing friends,
It matters how people treat us everyday, not how they look.
