I am different it’s often heard <br />I’m the Lemon not the curd <br />I am the tea not the pot <br />I am the baby in the cot <br />I am the Star not the light <br />I am the Eagle not the Owl in flight <br />But...the more I watch the less I see <br />any of these differences in thee <br />I think I want to rather be <br />the curd that turns.., yes that’s me <br />rather the pot to hold the tea <br />without it where would the Ladies be <br />Rather the cot the baby to hold, keeping the baby warm against cold Rather the light than the Star, untouchable rock, light we see from afar <br />Make me rather Owl than Eagle in flight <br />rather the wisdom in the night <br />than beauty a swift on the wings of light <br />The more I look around <br />It’s their sameness that abound <br />even the so called artist strange <br />all wear French hats not much change <br />In every house you can look <br />there is sameness in every nook <br />I am different I often hear <br />but to me it’s all too clear <br />sameness is what the world holds dear...<br /><br />Michelle Melody<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/viva-la-difference-2/
