The Ones who Dare to Be Strange

A poem that has been trying to develop over a year or so. Kind of about feeling better about you self. Kinda long, but kinda short.

It will never change

They say

To the ones who dare to be strange

Ah, but one day, they will pay

They'll pay for the world's pain

Cause words will always hurt me

we were never insane

But, that they could never see

Why?

Why should I pay?

They asked with a sigh 

As if they were innocent each day

All we wanted was a friend

Someone to lighten the load,

So against the wall we won't be pinned

A friend to keep us out of the cold

But, hold my friend 

Do not become deranged

Reinforcements I will send

And one day it will be changed

For today is ours for the taking 

Yesterday was then

now, new we are waking

From a slumber we thought we couldn't win

And one day a story will be told

Of those who were never out done

The Strong, the Brave and the Bold

This was our battle to be won

And there will nothing pretty as we

For we are who we want to be

So, why can't they see

That I am me?

Author's Note

Like an anthem for everyone that has struggled to survive. I see the power, this is a war cry for the helpless, stand, fight and see what it truly means to be unique, thank you for the wake up call Mind Racer, this piece truly makes me understand how important it is to be "me". Amazing, brilliant write. Looking forward to more poetry from you.
