weird

Weird

if you think me weird

for loving with an unconditional openness

because I can not do any different

then yes,

I am weird

if I seem weak to you

for being vulnerable and honest

when expressing how I feel

then yes,

I am weak

if you consider me mindless

for trusting my intuition and senses more

than clever explanations

then yes,

I am mindless

if you believe I am emotional

for feeling empathy

when anyone is in pain

then yes,

I am emotional

if you feel I am unashamed

for articulating my desire

then yes,

I am without shame

if you deem me off-beat

for singing from my own song sheet

for not running with the crowd

then yes,

I am off-beat

if I do appear strange

for being intensely curious

for withholding judgement

and a willingness to understand what makes you tick

for looking beyond the surface,

beyond pretence

and happy smiles

then yes,

I am strange

and all of that

no doubt
