Grow Your Weird
by Amy ManningYou grow up looking at those people
Staring at those people
Hearing other people comment on those people
With an ‘Okaaaay’
And comments later in the car
That don’t make sense to you
It starts slow
Slow
You want something different
You’ve been dressing the same too long
Or your hair has hung the same way
Too long
Cut it
Change it
Feel the stares and love them
You move to something more
Different authors to read
Better musicians to find on the wide
Wide
Web
Life expands
And you realize
It’s not different, or unique
It’s just the bit of life you never saw before
