As you are

I’ve seen the beauty

In those you call ugly,

They have a uniqueness

That is quite lovely.

I’d rather see diversity

Different from the rest,

There’s nothing worse

Than being a normal mess.

It takes one to shine

Before others follow,

Flaunt your flaws

That once caused sorrow.

Decline people’s judgement

Ignore their critique,

Being somewhat different

Doesn’t make you a freak.

Drop down your defence

Come as you are,

Because to me

You’re already a shining star.

  2. I like perfect as you are. It reminds me of a conversation with a friend who would often calls people who were different weird. I asked her why she didnt find it weird to follow the flock. Nice work.

    When being a mess is normal, I probably am the most regular person ever.

    That said, I like to think I would say this in the mirror from time to time. It might just give strength to go on. Thank you for sharing.

    The line “there’s nothing worse than being a normal mess” will stick with me! It’s a great line. x

    This is something I’ve hit upon myself several times in my own writing. The way people follow fashion trends, try to all look alike, act the way they believe is the ‘right way.’ I was always different throughout my school years and was attacked constantly for it, making me feel miserable. But looking back now, I was probably happier than anybody else, because I was happy with who I was.
