Compared
All lifelong seems we are compared
Maybe because of a talent, maybe not
Maybe because we do things differently
We are contrasted rather than compared.
Our thoughts, our behaviors, even habits
Has the comparison ever made you feel
Less?
Condescending comments flying in
Condemned because you have your ways
Today, I wish to speak with all honesty
I do not write like others, I am not them
I don’t have the same thoughts most likely
I don’t concentrate on others thoughts
I want to be all original. Yes others think
Others will write, but from different perspectives
With different attitudes, unique experiences.
Don’t allow comparisons or contrast
To change who you are as an individual
We are all created differently, intentionally
Enjoy others work, read it, praise it
Don’t allow it to take from your creativity
Use your voice, your ideas, your passions
Be who you were created to be, fully
