Dared to be different
I walk alone,
In this journey called life.
Left by the ones I called my own,
For raising my voice against suffering and strife.
My thoughts seemed radical to them,
But that first step there was none daring to take.
I was advised to let go of my ways by some,
But I didn’t want to make the same mistake.
A seamless union of preaching and practice,
Was all that I desired.
But everyone wanted to preach but not practice,
Even the ones whom I once admired.
Their empty words are nothing but pathetic,
I’ve decided not to be ignorant.
For my actions I’ll never be apologetic,
For all I did was dared to be different.

It is so important to dare to be different otherwise we will be exploited and others will not be encouraged to be themselves. Great post.

Being different is a good thing and a courageous stance to take – well done you!

We all are different, but very few dare to accept it. Liked the flow of the poem.
