I've always admired how flowers bloom without any acknowledgement of their surroundings. A flower doesn't seek approval from the flower growing next to it, it just focuses on itself and blooms into what it is supposed to become. Honey, I hope you have the courage to be a flower, and bloom without any regard to your surroundings and the criticisms of the world. I hope you focus all of your energy into becoming the best possible version of yourself. Don't let the weeds around you stop you from flourishing, but also don't conform yourself into something you are not. Sure, a rose is a beautiful, but darling so is a wildflower.

You don’t put on makeup you are a boy. You don’t wear high heels you are a boy. You can’t walk like that you are boy. Take off that nail polish, that is for girls. Go out for football, or soccer, or baseball or something. You need to do something manly. If you don’t do anything manly then what are you doing here. If i catch you putting on makeup again, then you are gone, you are out of this house, i will not have a gay son in my house. What made you decide to be this way, i have always taught you the way of being a man, don’t stand a certain way. Go out with a girl i have never seen you with a girlfriend. When you get a wife you will respect her, treat her with kindness. What if i want a boyfriend? Then you are no son of mine. you will not get your hair dyed. You will not be a ****** under my roof, your mom allowed that stuff to go on, not me i will not stand for this. You either straighten up and find a girlfriend or you will be put on the street, with no one to care for you, no one to help you, or until you come to your senses and come crawling back to ask for my forgiveness. I will never forgive you. I will never come crawling back like a dog begging for food. I am who i am if you can’t accept that than you are no father. I will not sit here and let you drag me down, downgrade me to nothing, and tell me how to live my life. Telling me i have to do sports, telling me i have to love a girl to be a  guy. Telling me that i am not your son if i don’t stand a certain way or walk with a little swag or manly walk. I am still a man if i love another man. I am still a man if i wear lipstick or lipgloss. I am still a man if i am in touch with my feminine side. I am still a man if i try on my mother’s clothes because i miss her and hate her for leaving me with a homophobic, pathetic excuse for a father. I am me and if you want to throw me out, then throw me out, just know i will not be alone because unlike you i have friends that support and love who i am. I have friends that will care for me and will not let me rot on the side of the street. ARE YOU A BOY! Society wants you to stray in the shadow of a man. They do not want you to be your own person, they despise that. Now i’m not saying all of society is like this, but there is still part of society that is like this. Do not be the person society wants you to be, do not be the equivalent of the man they want you to be. Be yourself, be your own man, be you.

A square that was a little twisted
Didn't want to lay on his side like everyone insisted
Instead he wanted to stand on his pointy end
Look and see just what become of him
Because he did not want to be like all those that had come before
He'll now be a diamond, forever more

Go to bed Adelle
It's 20 to 4, in the morning Adelle
Smoke this cigarette, Adelle
You're drunk, Adelle
Sipping red wine, Adelle
What are you doing, Adelle?

Hiding with bottles, Adelle
Smoking bongs, Adelle
Playing denial, like a game, Adelle

It's only you, Adelle
Trust and all that ****, you, Adelle
Be you, Adelle

Smoke that smoke, Adelle
Drink that glass of wine, Adelle

Just don't go crazy, Adelle

Be yourself, Adelle

Learn your limits, and stay with in it, Adelle

You should probably sleep, Adelle

Watch jersey shore, and pass out,  Adelle

"In order to be irreplaceable,
One must be different"
-Coco Chanel

We may all feel the hunger to fit in
But why would you want to fit in, When you can be unique?

The courage to be yourself in a world full of sheep- in itself- is beautiful
And frankly, the only person you should try to impress, is yourself
At the end of the day who's always there for you?
That's right!
It's you!
Do you want those you love, those you spend the most time with, to remember you when you're gone?
To smile and laugh when they think about you?
Then, be unique
Remove the chains you've wrapped around your neck in order to be "normal"
Spread your wings and let this world see you
Some may be flooded by your boldness
They may become venomous, because they're too afraid to do it themselves
Do not give them the power to dampen your spirit
Hold your head high
Be proud in who you are
Because the rest of us, those who have freed ourselves?
We're waiting for you
And we want to wrap you in a blanket of warmth and kindness
When you're ready,
Come find us

We may all have the hunger to fit in
But why should we want to fit in,
When we can be unique?

My hair is as curvy
as my body.
Today I straightened
everything out.
I don't think straight suits me

When you are born
with hair this wild
you shouldn't ever
try to tame it.
Do what comes naturally

There is no point
in trying to straighten
something that was meant
to be anything but.
As long as it is you

I say: Do It

Did you know that being honest is ok?
Not running away
Not pretending
That is only for those who are not honest
Because they can’t
They are afraid
But there is no difference except one thing
You are able to be afraid
And they are not
They cannot say these things out loud
Because they are afraid
While you are not
But how can that be if you are afraid
It’s only about something
Not being something
It’s not always about  being afraid though
It’s about ideas
Or trying something
It’s not worrying about what they think
It’s a test for them
Do they know you?
It’s time that they accept the changes
You won’t let it happen
Not to be who you are
You’re not going to think as a man or a woman
Only as who you are
Then they will know
You can still love who you wish to love
The way you wish to love
And they will know
But they won’t know what to think
Because you’re not afraid
Because you’re honest
Some people only speak with their voice
Their heart is silent
As is their soul
But yours are about to come alive
To use your voice
Not be ruled by it
You are not going to  be afraid to say it
That you loved them
That they hurt you
You are going to write something
It’s how you feel
That’s why it’s honest
You are going to no longer worry
What you feel
They feel
You are going to be able to say it
Because you’re honest
And you’re not afraid
They never knew that about you
Now they do
They'll be ok

Such confidence,
To stand as you
Repeling all the cursing
Enduring all the negatives
To be you,
To be different,
Not afraid of the monochrome communities,
Giving opinion that differs from others,
To not bow to the majority,
Just be you.
