Notes About The Poem

Different

How many of you were born different?
How many were born the same?
Be proud of your life and who you’ve become
and never hang your head in shame

Our differences make us unique
don’t be ashamed of who you are
Trust in those who love and support you
and dare to dream beyond the stars

Happiness is not a credit score
or how much money you’ve got in the bank
True happiness is all about love
and living a life that isn’t dank

Get up and dance in the rain
listen for the music inside of your head
Enjoy the land of the living
and never dwell in the silence of the dead
