Embrace the Strange
Among the changing leaves The pumpkins, the corn, the scarecrows Something different came along something we didn’t understand
Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Among the changing leaves The pumpkins, the corn, the scarecrows Something different came along something we didn’t understand
When you mess up When you let yourself down The hardest thing to do is to move on
Words are the greatest tool we have they can save lives ward off evil change the whole world
No matter what your problem No matter how bad it seems Know that if you ask I will sit and listen
It can be easy to believe that if you stop talking people will walk away and forget about you
The sun's up it's time to go Get out of bed No time for “no”
This world is full of possibilities Of people that look different It's not enough to ignore them To say “Not my problem” They will still be there If you don't help them Will anyone else?
What makes my home beautiful? Is it the trees or the flowers? Perhaps the riches and wealth The innovations that revolutionize Or the muscles it can flex What about the ideas it has? The intelligence or creativity? The works of art, the masterpieces
If you look closer, you'll see It's none of those things It's the people
Some people have a monster in their head It lurks in the shadows Creeping around in their nightmares Telling them “you don't matter”
Somewhere out there there's someone else like me someone who knows the fear around me
