all my life
     i've fought
          to be
                    different--

just that
     i might
          be the same
as
     everyone
          else...

OOOOOH how interesting this is!! It gives me something to wonder about. I am one who has also always struggled to be differnt from the crowd,but once in awhile i reflect...and realize that i am just the same as all the rest..........strange isn't it??¿ Anyhow i thought your poem was really intriguing aND interesting.....great work!!

thanks guys, for all your comments     

i like this one because it reminds me that i'm ok--as me.  often i forget that--i like my soul just fine, the heart of me is good, but i dont always like the shell that houses the parts of me i like..  

so in writing this i'm saying to myself, i'm ok...

Interesting thoughts here, dg.  What do you want to be different from, and who is the everyone else you want to be the same as?   It does take a while to become comfortable with who you are, doesn't it?

MR B..i feel so proud for you to like my style    thanks for such a nice reply  

you got it DENNIS.."unique..just like everybody else.."  odd isnt it..lol  

BREEZE..yep..the fear runs deep, the love runs deep, the passion runs deep...deep is me...  

LYNN..glad you loved it  

TRICKS..yeah i know--i'm an odd bird aye!! LOL     glad you didnt stray too far (ha!)..i may not have fetched you back with that little fishin line.. heehee..your friendship means much to me too  

MAR..yes, for some of us, it takes a long time to become comfortable with who we are..others seem to breeze thru life with no thoughts about it..then there are those of us who are afraid someone might notice the changes, the growing, the realizations we make..and then we become afraid of the changes..  *sigh*..oops didnt mean to get so deep with that!  

gotta get!!  

hugs, dg

I see I have already replied...after meditating (earlier reply), don't change, be you. Not too many around with a heart like yours. We love your heart, it's kind and true & so much feeling for others. Don't change, be you.   Marcy

dg,
When I was a freshman in high school, i was told that it is wrong to be different than everybody else.  Ever since, i have absolutely proud to be different and i always strived for exactly that!  it has, to the least, changed my life around in quite the way.  But i love it!!!  Congratulations on being different, even though it does kind of make you the same as everyone else!

True very true. Like the way it conveyed

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.
