To be unique, to stand out is an attractive proposition
To not blend in, to take a different position
From everyone else around you empowering appears
You stand apart and stand tall without fear
You chart your own path unconventional
You design your life in a manner intentional
*
As you grow older, you tend to realize
Not following the playbook exacts a price
There is no one quite like you, therefore loneliness
Becomes a constant companion on the ladder of success..
Instead of standing out, now you want to blend in
Following a different path does not feel like a win
*
I wish I could do things the way most people do
Being different has been a double-edged sword, its true
Each time I take a small step to mingle with the crowd
I feel accomplished, of myself I am proud
Loneliness hurts more than the thrill of being unique
Therefore comfort in blending in instead of standing out I seek
Passion...unbridled
