I'm tired of being different I want to be the same for if I was just maybe I wouldn't feel this pain I'm tired of being different I want to be like you for if I was just maybe you'd keep your heart in view I'm tired of being different I want to be a copy for if I was just maybe life's sea would be less choppy I'm tired of being different I want to be like him for if I was just maybe you wouldn't have left again ----------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This is an excellent poem...you should be proud of how unique you really are..and be happy that you are not a sheep like so many conformist americans are. There will be somebody who will appreciate you for who you are, because you are different. Being the "same" is awfully boring......beth "And I still believe you can never have too much fiction because reality is such a bore..." - REA |

Oh, I love this so much! I totally can understand your pain... I wish I was a copy of somebody else sometimes, maybe that way I could have had her life too. Thanks for sharing, it's so beautiful.

Even though it can be tough sometimes, I think at the end of the day I'd rather be me than someone else. "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Sven sometimes I find myself thinking these thoughts when I like a woman and no matter what I do she likes someone else...this other person never seems to have any redeeming qualities and I am so wonderful so I can't see why she would like them and not me...ha...ha...just joking...but am serious also...James |

This is a quality piece that I think we can all relate too. Sometimes we all would rather be cattle and chew grass with the mass, that open up our wings and soar in the immense cold sky in solitude, but where we can see the world for what it is. Thank you for this wonderful piece. |

Yes Sven we can all relate!! But I don't think there is anything wrong with being different, it IS nice to be the individual that you are - you!! Don't change... I know where you are coming from but believe me the faults don't lie within you hon....

Thanks hon, I knew you would understand. . .and I know that we have a bigger load to bear. . .just glad to have someone to share it with. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

It's an excellent piece of art my friend I prefer to consider people as unique rather then different and i wrote a poem about it (unique) quite sometime back, you should have a look at it  It's better to embrace the uniqueness and let people accept you as you are rather then a mirage ... *hugs* Love CoMeS To ThOsE WhO Still HoPe AlThOuGh They've BeeN DiSaPpOiNteD,To ThOsE WhO StiLL BeLiEvE AlThOuGh ThEy'Ve BeeN BeTraYeD,LoVe KeEpS ThEm GoInG |

Hmmm..I liked this piece..but being who you are is what makes you different..Imagine us all being the same..If we were there would be no place like this to come to.Hey ya never know..Maybe that person was wishing they were someone different..Maybe they wished they were like you..Talented, creative and one heck of a nice person |

No you wouldn't won't to be me. Locked in this world of fear, feeling safe inside my four walls. You have such an ability to speak in words that I envy. |

"I'm tired of being different I want to be like him" Oh how I relate. The eternal question: "What do I do that is so wrong?" Excellent work Sven! |

CrEaTuRe, thank you. . . sometimes though, I think that I'm too unique for my own good! kitkat, thanks my friend. . . maybe you're right. . . you made me smile Isis, I know. . . and for that, I will always be thankful. . . we'll get to talk soon again my friend. . . inot2B, we always want to be someone else, thinking that they've got it easier of better than us. . . but if you come out of the walls, you might see that we've been there too. . . thank you my friend. . . Jonas, you have hit it right on the head my friend. . . what do I do that is so wrong? Perhaps, we'll never know. . . thanks. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
