Advocating the courage to be different.
I stand awkward and unsure So different from the rest Unaccepted and rifled with ridicule Uncomfortable yet hoping to conform A fate that feels so wrong I struggle to fight the urge without intent A path I forever lament My tribe will love me if only I can find Those common attributes they say will forever bind Yet, there is a different path I pursue Bold and true to myself I burst through Realize my destiny and prove to be great Never looking back but only within Being different without fear for its my fate There are no barking birds Unless I choose to be first I so choose To be a lone barking bird
