Being ~different~ Comments

Obviously, being 'different' isn't necessarily a bad thing. Nice point to the ending... well done, Mary! Brian

So many times in your poems, your soul is laid bare. This poem and several others tell it all - the unhappiness, and the determination not to be the same way, and the struggle to get to that point. From the school of been there. done that you write, right on target. Linda

Wonderful... does the past really change or does it become full circle? Great, love it Patricia

I love you for the way you are.Sharing so much of yourself. Where else could we find this Your A Star...Love Duncan

Mary, I can see some of myself in this poem. You make the reader think about the past...does it really change or do we just forget? You know? Good job. Meredith

i understand your strength in this...succinct and enjoyable...best wishes linda

i really enjoyed this poem. it is very well written.

This was nice, it's thought provoking and it flowed. Good job Mary

I always enjoy poems about selfreflection :) Your poem has wonderful rhyme and meter. I think many can identify with your poem, since at time feelings come over us which makes us feel set-apart from, or just 'different'. It's nice to know that we are not so different, and your poem certainly made a connection with me :)

This is cool, Mary - vive la difference!

For a lady who doesn't swear or drink, I like you a whole lot, anyway! Just being Mary is cool!

Your the loveliest 'nut case' around Mary, and if your a nut case then so am I. Snap! ! ! ! ! Love Ernestine XXX

BE DIFFERENT! ! ! ! It is good to be that way. If we all were the same don't you think this would be a boring world? Be yourself that's all that matters! ! !

Being your kind of 'different' is good. avr

Amen! You don't have to explain yourself to ANYone, Mary. We're all products of our environment and everything that happens to us changes us forever. In your case, my friend, you changed in only the best of ways. My hat's off to you and I bow to your courage! Well done. Hugs, CJ
