Different

Voices gather round me
rumbling as to storm
threatening dark and ominous
lacking shape and form

You're so very different
you're so very strange
why can't you be like one of us
why can't you be the same

Then from deep inside me
another voice I heard
I cannot be the same as you
my voice aloud concurred

I don't believe as you do
that the world should look the same
nor share the same opinion
nor have a likened name

For like an artist's palette
who's colors do adorn
the world and all it's people
each one uniquely born

A beautiful mosaic 
all bright and full and lush
a world of living colors
that's what I see in us
