December 8 – Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful.
"You have a freak flag...You just don't fly it."
Something must be fundamentally
wrong with me,
because this prompt makes me cringe.
Is it really that hard
to think positively of myself?
So, going against the grain
of my natural inclinations,
I'm just going to let my
freak flag fly!
I love to laugh,
the kind of laughter
the comes from the belly
and I don't care if I laugh
when I'm all alone.
I make sure to laugh even harder.
I love to make people
laugh with embarassingly
awkward tales of my silliness.
I persevere
and I hate to give up.
I think people respect and admire
that about me.
Even if I have
a meltdown
every now and then.
Like my mom and grandmother,
I have witchy hands,
kind of ugly, but strong,
which really means
I am intuitive and perceptive
(so they say).
These things may
make me a little eccentric,
a little adventurous,
but the freak flag in me
lets them come out.
And people like me
all the same.
reverb10: join in on the fun
your freak flag is beautiful. and not really very freaky at all. and a good belly laugh is the best. i love that about you.
ReplyDeleteKim, I love this, I have witchy hands, too and they are crooked. For reverb: I let my freak flag fly; I think these qualities make us special. We need to change the name of that flag!~ lol
