I am proud of my brown skin
I don't care if I look slim or broad
I love myself the way I am
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
I believe in myself the most
Only after that, comes God
I don't have to pray to get things
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
I am in no way lesser than a man
I do not have to worship him as lord
I want no special reservations for me
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
I believe in speaking my mind out
My words might strike harder than a rod
I find no point in sugar coating them
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
I do not need too many people
I am very happy with my own little squad
I do not find the need to please people
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
I am protective about the people I love
Mess with me and you get clawed
I am my own power and strength
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
I do what ever I want to do
For societal norms I give no nod
My life my way, is my mantra
Yeah, probably that's why I'm odd
And that is why you are special, and in no ways odd! You are a true Leo and I can see all your traits expressed so wonderfully here, Soum. Way to go, girl! Loved it :)

Who is not odd? Most people wear a mask, I think and over time forget the difference between the mask and reality.
ReplyDeleteIt is the acceptance of 'being odd' that makes one special.
Exactly, I agree. Thanks for reading.
