Being different is a curse, I feel like an outcast. Their treatment towards me is different from the rest.
Their dislike of me, they try not to contrast,
For now, I’m not disillusioned. In their world, I’m a pest.
I’m labeled as the black sheep because I don’t follow the herd,
For this action, I’m ostracized by my peers.
But, the thought of following mindlessly, seems absurd,
But I assume the others are comfortable to subdue their uniqueness to cohere.
I have tried to fit in, and the more I try, the worse it becomes,
For such a behavior is pathetic and weak.
Thus, a period of introspective reflection I carried out, in order, to fathom,
Why I would suppress my uniqueness rather than let it speak?
My ideal character is an embodiment of Ayn Rand's philosophy,
This, I believe, is my way to becoming a person of value, not only success, as Einstein said.
This, I know, due to my hard work, will become a self-fulling prophecy,
And those who shunned me for my uniqueness, after such a self-transformation,
their limited mind wouldn’t be able to comprehend.
