Dear you,
STAND
Stand alone. Be proud and stand tall.
Be proud of the fact that you hold a quality that many lack
Resilience.
Be resilient in being you
Many won't get it. They won't get you,
But I hope that you will learn one day that its okay,
The right ones will appreciate your quirks,
Your irregular patterns and shapes 
And appreciate it because it makes you, you.
Be proud of the fact that, when they all were too weak to resist and fit into the mold,
You were strong enough to stand out
Don't smoothen your edges because they've never seen your irregular irregularities
Maybe there's a need for them in this world.
Too many regulars, too many typicals,
Not enough brave hearts and fearless souls, that dare to be different
Unapologetically.
