Call me a freak and it can only be that you are
uncomfortable with my individuality.
Categorise me as society instructs
and it can only be that you fear my differences.
Place me in a minority of those who "don't fit in"
because I won't conform to what your society demands.
Do any of these and you pay me a great compliment
because you recognise my nature to be extraordinary.

ESP,
Well now that's an "in your face" attitude. But you know what, you don't scare me. I like your spirit! Fun read too.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I think you should be JUST as and who you are and not what others want or expect. Great write and it goes straight to the heart! Sincerely, Sauni.

I loved this, Lizzie ... now that's the kind of positive attitude that moves mountains. I really enjoyed this!

Best wishes,
