Different

I see you there all alone,
It will be okay.
Hold your head up.
I promise there will be different days.

You may be different.
You may stand out.
You may not be confident.
You may have many doubts.

But I say again, 
And again until it sticks.
It is okay, that you 
Chose not to be in the mix

Don’t think that unique
Is another word for odd.
Unique is standing out
As you were designed by God.

Hold up your head.
Dispel evil cares.
Think happy thoughts.
Take a breathe of fresh air.
