fauxcroft

The light and shade,

the shadows and the spotlight,

areas of life we all inhabit

grouped together in our tribes.

All uniquely defined by tradition,

by culture by the way we act,

it’s not always white,

it’s not always black.

The reasons why we behave as we do

installed since birth by those who,

have a vested interest

in us being this way,

whether that is normal or depraved,

and it takes a critical thinker

to change their ways,

to break the mold

and to play their own games.

Unique and different and unashamed.

Head held high writing their own stories

bright shining souls glowing in glory,

of transcending from being just one of the crowd,

standing out not afraid to shout  loud,

I am different from you and of that I am proud

these margins of life transforms us somehow.
