you do not want to be like them
do not follow their path
for they should dream of venturing after you.

you open doors to rooms we've never seen,
you search for the light in the dark,
you accept the apologies that remain unsaid,
you see the unseen,
you are special.

they all see the same ocean while you find the pond,
they cry tears of pain while yours are of sympathy.

do not conform to society,
remain unique and special.

for your footprints in the sand will be followed,
and new worlds will continue to be discovered.

so thank you Angel,
for being the saving grace,
for staying out of the ditch that we all are falling in,
and holding the rope that pulls us out.

although it may be scary
although you may feel stuck

the clock will continue ticking
the sun and the moon will continue their exchange
calendar pages will continue turning
and time will go on

you must trust the ways of the world
they have not failed you before
they will not fail you now

trust the peace
and the benefits that time will give.
