Am I just different?

What does it mean to be different? 
What does it mean to stand out, to not be like the rest?
 In this day and age what is different? 

Is different something that just catches your eye, 
like a hook to that song on the radio 
Or is it something else something deep down 
buried in a person. 
Am I different? 
And if I am different does that make you different too? 
And if that is the case
Does that make us all different 
And if we are all different 
Doesn't that just make us the same? 

And maybe I am different.
Maybe because of the way I was raised, 
Maybe because of my hobbies
Or maybe there is no reason at all
Because maybe deep down we are all different.

  • I am not

    I am not a poet 
    I don’t know how to use my words the way they can
    I can’t captivate the minds of my friends by stringing them along with the simplest of words 

    I am not a musician 

  • Limelight

    I stood in the crowd 
    My feet cemented to the ground 
    Just basking in the light of something that would slowly fade 

    I could hear the high pitched ringing 
    A reminder of a past days sacrifice
