               INSPIRATION

NEVER SHOULD YOU MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
IN THE BODY OF THE PURE
IN THE MIND OF THE HUMBLE
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF
WALK WITH PRIDE AND STRIDE LIKE A PEACOCK
BE THE LEADER, DON'T BE THE FLOCK
NEVER BE AFRAID TO SPEAK YOUR MIND
YOU ARE SOMEBODY!

SOMEBODY WHO IS NOT AFRAID
WHO BELIEVES HE WILL NEVER FAIL
WHEN EVERYONE THINKS HE IS DOWN AND OUT
HE'LL RAISE HIS VOICE AND SHOUT
I AM BLACK OR WHITE OR MIXED FROM BOTH
I AM THE CATALYST THAT KEEPS THIS BOAT AFLOAT
THROUGH STORM, ROUGH TIDES OR DARK CLOUDS
I'LL PROCLAIM,"I AM SOMEBODY AND I AM PROUD"

Welcome to Passions, and, softly giggling at Paladin's comment, yes, all CAPS can connote that we are being a little louder with our words than we would actually like to portray.  But I think, once you get used to lower-case writing techniques, that you are going to like it here.

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

a wonderful first post!
it does well in following its title...well written. i like the catalyst line.
