DON’T TOE THE LINE

DON’T TOE THE LINE

A road that’s not taken

is a road forsaken.

Do not turn your face

from the hectic race.

Follow the bright lights

to achieve great heights.

Don’t hang your head in fear,

for your time is now here.

Take your place in the curving line

of others who won’t toe the line.

Rev up your engine and soar

with your foot pressed to the floor.

You have only one chance

in life to sing and dance.

Let this be your time

not to toe the line.

STAND STRONG

One block turns.

The others turn.

At the same time.

In the same way.

Similar to people.

Following one person.

At the same time.

In the same way.

Following one ideal.

At the same time.

In the same way.

Are we cattle?

No.

Be unique.

Stand strong.

For your beliefs.

Stand strong.

Dare to be different.

THE CURVE

THE CURVE

Takes one to be different.

To strike out alone.

To pave the road.

For others.

A SNOWFLAKE

A snowflake.

Each one is different.

Unique.

Created by nature.

For us.

This snowflake is 

a gift for me

from someone

who is unique

in her own way.

My daughter.

The perfect gift.

Thank you.

TURN ME

Turn me.

Change me.

I want to be

different.

Unique.

Exciting.

Just not me.

FAR FROM THE BEATEN PATH

Source:relatlonship 

The road above or below?

I can take the straight and narrow.

Follow where others have already gone.

I can walk a different pathway.

Far from the beaten path.

Where danger might be lurking.

Darkness might reign free.

I’m ready.

Let’s go!

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

Embrace your passions. 

Don’t be afraid.

No one has the right 

to criticize you.

Be unique. 

Be different. 

Be proud.

STAND ALONE

Humans tend to stick together

to form groups and cliques.

But what about those

who stand alone?

Who want to be different?

Who don’t want to be

part of a pack?

They stand alone.

They stand apart.

They become leaders.

MOVE AT YOUR OWN PACE

Turn one block.

They all turn.

At the same time.

In the same way.

Just like people,

who follow one person.

At the same time.

In the same way.

How boring.

How useless.

If we moved in our

own unique ways,

life would be more interesting.

People would be more interesting.

DARE TO DREAM

I want to look at the night,
Gaze out into the unknown.
Dare to dream of flight,
A dream of conquering it all.

When night comes softly
On feet as light as air,
I can see more clearly
Of what I can dare.

Alone on this hilltop
With the embracing cold,
I will leap past boundaries
That I have created of my own.

Darkness hides all secrets
Beneath its cloak of despair.
Secrets that lie safe and secure
Until the morning light.

At night I can roam free
Without the hindrance of others.
I can leap over castle walls,
Sail forth on gossamer wings.

Looking down at all below me,
Sleeping in their beds of down,
I can see how I am different
And can never fit into the mold.

GOING IN CIRCLES

niadil:

GOING IN CIRCLES

Caught in a vicious cycle.
No control over your own life.
Day in and day out.
Round and round you go.
Does it ever stop?
Can you get off?
Yes, you can.
If you step outside the circle.
And dare to be different.

 

 

SILENCE

SILENCE

In a world of noise
Where no one is heard,
We could use some silence.
A bit of quiet.

Take a step back
And be quiet.
Watch for the response.
See the surprise.

For silence can convey
What words cannot.
A feeling or a thought
To be lost in words.

Don’t be afraid
To make your stand.
To be different.
Refusing to mouth inanities.

Be a breath of fresh air
In the violent storm.
Standing strong and silent
In the wake of it all.

A SNOWFLAKE

A snowflake.
Nothing more perfect.
Each one different.
Unique.
Created by nature.
For us.
For each of us,
who is unique
in his or her own way.
A picture taken by my daughter.
A gift given to me
by someone
who I love most.
Someone who is unique
in her own way.
A perfect gift from
a perfect someone.
Thank you.

STAND ALONE

Humans tend to stick together.
To form groups and cliques.
But what about those
who stand alone?
Who want to be different?
Who don’t want to be

They stand alone.
They stand apart.
They become the leaders.

LISTEN TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUM

Turn one block.
They all turn.
At the same time.
In the same way.
Just like people,
who follow one person.
At the same time.
In the same way.
How boring.
How useless.
If we moved in our
own unique ways,
life would be more interesting.
People would be more interesting.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

What do you see in the picture?
Do you see a flower pot?
What about a knife?
We all could be looking at the same
exact picture, and see something different.
What we see corresponds to our own
unique personalities.
What do you see?

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES

seensense:

Approaching Shadow, Hong Kong, 1956/2012, Fan Ho. From Hong Kong Yesterday.

The person who took this photograph
is focusing on the approaching shadow.
But when I look at this picture,
all I see is a woman standing alone.
One picture = different perspectives

EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL

Everything and everyone is beautiful.
Don’t let anyone tell you any differently.

IF TIME STOOD STILL

What if time stood still?
We wouldn’t get older.
We would look the same forever.
Would we be bored with life after awhile?
Would be less in a hurry to get things accomplished?
There would be no reason to do things right away.
We would just put off what we could do today for tomorrow.
Then tomorrow, we would procrastinate for the next day.
Let the clock move ahead.
It would be awful to be stuck in time.
