Different

I have chosen to go against the course,
I have anchored my ship through the tapered waters,
My wings took a contrastive shape, unique and vibrant,
I stood against the lashing winds, embracing its contempt,
I have hunted for magic even in darkness,
I construed the concealed emotions inscribed in printed words,
I stayed silent most of the time, letting my talent speak,
I grasped the miracles of the tiniest things encountered in my life.

I love the unparalleled realism of my sane life,
The imperfections and the unpredictability that ornate my existence,
Making my life an assemblage of contorted fates.
