Weirdo
Free verse
In a world of straight lines and narrow paths,
I walk the crooked road,
where colours blend and twist,
and the ordinary turns to magic.
They call me weirdo,
for I dance to music no one else hears,
a symphony of stars and whispers,
a melody only my heart knows.
I see beauty in the broken,
stories in the silence,
and dreams in the daylight,
where others see only shadows.
In my world,
the sky is not the limit,
but a canvas waiting for the brush of wonder,
a place where impossibilities become possible.
Weirdo, they say,
but I wear it like a badge,
a testament to the freedom
of being uniquely, apologetically me.
In the spaces between the norms,
I find my truth,
and in the echoes of my difference,
I discover the boundless expanse of my soul.
