A Price

There’s a price to pay For not conforming to the mold It won’t always be easy and I won’t always mix in with the crowd But I wouldn’t have it any other way The price to pay is relatively small For striving to be my own person Craving to explore personal potential Soaring to the heights of my ambition And following my unique dreams AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on April 22, 2019

Hi Line, conforming to the whims of others is losing one's identity and uniqueness, so I couldn't agree with you more! Awesome write. Poetry Hugs, Jennifer

For you and your originality, your talent and intelligence, I would say the price was worth it.

I feel I have to step it up to make up for lost time... It is a crime to have any shred of talent that is not exploited. Thanks for the encouragement.
