I have to confide: There's a sense of pride In the things that I do first... The feeling's intense The pleasure immense When I find myself immersed In the thought no one's come before me... I set the trend, making history... I'm an individual; I make my own set of rules I don't need fashion because I've got my own style... My imprint's residual Because it's original Thus I'll get what I want though it may take a while... Bygone are the days Of all things cliche -- The banal and trivial... It is time to seek Ways that are unique, Adding flavor to the dull... Something different; maybe even new... Examples made: respect becomes due... I'm an individual; I make my own set of rules I don't need fashion because I've got my own style... My imprint's residual Because it's original Thus I'll get what I want though it may take a while... Creativity Is a major key To unlock the doors of fame In order to be Successful, you see, You must make yourself a name... Ingenuity is something sought... If you use it, then your future's bought... I'm an individual; I make my own set of rules I don't need fashion because I've got my own style... My imprint's residual Because it's original Thus I'll get what I want though it may take a while... It takes a strong will To move up a hill Everyone is going down... But it's just as well That you did rebel Because you stood your own ground... You showed you're an individual That won't conform to the common lull... I'm an individual; I make my own set of rules I don't need fashion because I've got my own style... My imprint's residual Because it's original Thus I'll get what I want though it may take a while... (Copyright 1989 by: MARK V SHELDON) "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Mark, The message here is very true... and very important.. more people should take a stand and be themselves instead of following everyone else's rules.. me included. Thanks for sharing this  TaraB |

Tara, my pleasure, and thank you. Too many "sheeple" out there -- why not stray from the herd? Sandra, may the Rebellion prevail! -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Oh, I loved this one. We should all just be ourselves and stop trying so hard to impress everyone. You'd be amazed at the results. Great write, Mark. All writing comes |

(Humbly smiling... thanks Connie.) Lone Wolf, I thank you, as well. I absolutely, passionately agree: one should just be one's self; however, it seems the challenge lies in discovering just what exactly one's "self" truly is... that's why Socrates' old "Know Thyself" philosphy has inspired me from a long time ago -- infinite wisdom and a lifelong pursuit, if you ask me... -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
