“To be nobody but yourself
in a world which is doing
its best day and night
to make you like everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight
and never stop fighting.”

unique
just you
like nobody else
one of a kind
individual

clear azure blue skies
aurora borealis

Poem:
.
so average that it hurts
been there, have the t-shirts
still seeking a unique niche
with class, no bawdy kitsch
the snobs feign indifference
the hick straight out of Deliverance
the middle class can’t afford to be rich
there is no bottom to the poor man’s ditch
blue is a color that I will not bleed
enough pocket money to buy some chicken feed
too lackadaisical or just too lazy to succeed
mother always called me her bad weed
I guess I’ll just have to be me
second cousin to the monkey in the tree
choosing to either agree or disagree
living a life happy, joyous and free
