Life once asked me
“why I don’t blend in more with the crowd?”
I told it gently,
I don’t enter places
where my soul goes quiet.
I don’t dislike crowds,
I just hear too much in them.
Energy speaks faster than words,
and silence tells the truth
before people do.
Some groups shine beautifully,
well-coordinated, well-liked,
very convincing.
I admire the effort.
Truly.
I simply choose not to perform.
I’d rather stand aside
than clap for something
that feels rehearsed.
Being the black sheep
isn’t rebellion,
it’s instinct.
A quiet preference
for peace over participation.
Life smiled and said,
“You’re different.”
I nodded.
“Yes.”
That’s how I stay honest.”
