I am who I am, that's all I can be
If I'm not myself, then who will fill my shoes?
I am original and can't be replaced,
Others may appear similar but I am a beautiful mistake that can't be erased.
If you come to really know me
You will find out I am an INFP
It's not a trait written in my genetic code
it's just a great way of summarizing who I really am.
I am like the freed prisoner in Plato's cave, I see beyond what's there;
I can look beyond the shadow of half truths and break the chains that keep me trapped
because I am a leader not a follower.
Though the words cut deep,
I will not allow myself to be held back against the lingering of voice of what society deems as sane,
Since normal is something I can't be, the world will just have to keep watching with disdain.
I love to learn and grow,
as if knowledge is a glass of water and I'm here to quench an endless thirst.
I am the prisoner who will walk out of the darkness and find the truth.
I am determined to find True Happiness.
because I refuse to let sadness rule my life. I am afraid of feeling alone so I will bring others on the quest with me.
I am inspiring a change I wish to see,
I am a Gandhi wannabe.
There are those who call me weird but being "abnormal" is what makes me free.
They judge me harshly as if I am being called to the stand to defend myself.
But only God can be the judge of me.
A lawyer can't defend my case because I'm the only one who can,
but I will play attorney for those who can't "afford" one.
I am the person who defends people without a voice.
They say God loved the sinners, well I love the outcasts.
The freaks.
The misfits.
Since we're treated like criminals on trial and our crime is being different.
I will change how they see,
I will be the eye doctor who helps those who are blind,
So they can see that these "misfits" have beautiful hearts and beautiful minds.
I am a prophet with a new message, preaching about a new religion called "Acceptance"
It preaches about how it's ok for people to be who they are.
We should acknowledge that "normal" is boring and being unique is a great thing.
I am starting a ritual of looking at the mirror and saying something you love about yourself everyday.
I repeat my favorite poet, telling everyone to "be the weed in a sidewalk crack, beautiful, because it doesn't know it's supposed to be there"
"I love myself" is now a sacred prayer.
People look at me and think I'm shy, quiet and meek but
I am an Aries which makes me impatient, stubborn, short tempered and feisty.
