Growing Pains

"'tis him in standing water"- and I must add, the water is often hot. Here is my sixteen year old self- rediscovered after so many years.

Dare to be with the crowd

If you should be different
it should be because you are
Different as earth from water
A candle from a shooting star.
To stay away from the crowd
Wrapped in that aura of your difference
Because you want others to se
That makes actually no sense.
To be happy when they are not
And cry when others are glad
To walk away willingly from them
That will make you even more sad.
Because you are pining
To do what they do
And you cannot else
How will you prove you are you!
So be with them, like them
In the crowd dint be alone
But don’t let them suppress you
O make you a mere clone.
There is just one golden rule
A law that you live through
It is when in Rome
Do as the Romans do.
