Walk along

It is easy to stand on the curb and shout: " I am different, I don't  belong!"

Sit there and curse your fortune, or feel superior and look down upon the mass judgingly. 

But can we, knowing that we are different fall in step with the crowd and cry with joy,  singing along and making it our song, our choice.

Can we, knowing that the only way to lead is to walk and teach by example, step down from the peadestal we have put our own selves on and fall in step. 

Accepting, finally, that the only way to influence, to serve  is to walk together, while   nurturing our own uniqueness.
