I Dare ...


I’ll tell you,
It’s great to be different.

I love to swim upstream.

I must often settle for lesser joys,
But I never cease to dream.


In
Through the out door,

Running
Up that hill.

I may sit down to rest sometimes.

But I never,

Ever

Sit still.


Up all night

Or up all day.

I may not care what you think,
But I respect it in every way.


I don’t expect you to see the world
Looking through my eyes.

I do,

However,

Expect you to


Share with me
The sky.


Born In a barn,
Born in a Jeep
Or born with a silver spoon.

We roam this place,

Together

Or not

And we all need a little room.


I do as I please.

I speak my mind.

This
will always be so.

I dare
To be me ...

And I do it wherever I go.


Imagine a world,
Honest and real.

To thine own self, be true.

I rarely ever
Wear a mask ...

Now ask yourself,
Do you?
