We're different roads
We walk divergent paths, you and I,
Two distinct journeys, like parallel lines in the sky,
Our minds, a dichotomy, a clash of thought and deed,
I navigate logic's realm, while you follow feelings' creed.
Our communication, a discordant symphony,
I'm measured, you're impulsive, a contrast in harmony,
My words, a calculated risk, yours, an emotional release,
We're worlds apart, in every

Men and Women Are Different
He knows he’s got to hide his nuts.
Each man who walks the planet sees
that though we labour, building huts,
we lack the chutzpah, such as these
(let’s say ‘she’)
who just know
how to be:
just so-so:
not like me!

a strange individual with pink hair
i think that even if i were to change,
nothing else would
i think there will always be something
wrong with me
no matter how normal i look
why should anyone recognize me anyway? my bright pink hair
doesn’t make me less dull
i try to ignore the laughs, the stares, the outward thoughts of people thinking,
“what a weird *!”
i really cannot

A Different Kind of World
The old Ford's hum on a road so long
Every mile's a memory, where I don't belong
Left this town with a song in my soul
Never thought I'd lose all my control
The doctor's voice, a whisper of a storm
Shook the ground and left my spirit torn
So I came back home, where the fields are green
To a ghost

You felt that you should follow a different path, more ambitious and full of dreams
You felt that you should follow a different path, more ambitious and full of dreams,
a road scattered with hidden stars whispering your name in the night,
but you had no idea how to get there, how to forge your way through the shadows,
and so, in your misery, you began to hate everything around you, like a

Dad
Even though fathers might all seem similar in some ways
They are actually all different as are cats and bears
Or even pirates and trees regardless of hidden fees
When working in the woods
Dad was a bear and a force to be reckoned with
But like a famous man, “he preferred it nice and peaceful”
He liked to be

Different
What if everything was different ?
Would you try again ?
If different is incorporated, does this mean it will feel better ?
Would it not worsen ?
How do you get out of your comfort zone while it is the only place giving you comfort
Will it heal my soul ?
What about my scars ,
The pain that

DIFFERENT THINGS TO UNDERSTAND
I wish we were blessed to realize we are ALL human beings
everyone on this planet is related to one another…
because we are human beings in name only
when we choose to ignore the suffering
of any of our sisters or our brothers.

DIFFERENT THINGS TO UNDERSTAND
She was born a girl but inner heart she knows she is a boy
and thus spends much of her young life life straddling the edge of joy.
And it’s no different for him…in the same way his life unfurls…
as he was born a boy but in his heart he knows he is a girl.

Different People Are Beautiful
It's quite a vague choice for beauty
As no two are the same.
Over time society has dictated
The "norms" of life's game.
Sadly the result is insult
Of "abnormal" types of personality,
A tick or how some dress
Or even clear disability...
But the beauty of those different
Is how, without a word,
They improve the outlook of society
And ensure others like them

Look at Things a Different Way
Sharp questions make me reassess
my thinking’s illogical mess
Look at things a different way
False premises and conclusions slay
Hit me hard where it really hurts

Lemming
I’m as pragmatic as a lemming
The most important day I missed
Stayed in my hole cause it was raining
Didn’t want my destiny to meet
And probably she thought the same
Had mixed me for another one
Who craved to get his lemming fame
Like other lemmings also ran
Towards the beauties of blue sea
Each tried to keep up with a

my soft heart tenderly beats.
tough outside my home;
my mind focuses on things
nostalgic when I'm alone.
