Simile

"One of these things is not like the others

One of these things just doesn't belong"

a teaching tool

but what does it teach

to be unique

to be the alike

be the same

be different

i choose not to be a simile

my heart's not the same

my heart its own

i must find my way

to be the same

is to be

much less than

who i am

While there is some comfort in being like others, it is also debilitating.  For if you measure according to others you limit your possibilities.  No more similes.
