Life - Make It Different Poem by Simon Odhiambo

I meet you every day and wonder
Should life be like this always
Very predictable as usual

I want to be different from you
walk differently
Laugh differently
Smile in my own way
Live where you cannot get to

And every time I do, it hurts me

I want to make it special for you
Talk differently
Love differently
Shine in my own way
Leave to where you cannot go

Yet every time I do, it hurts more

Should I make it different for you?
Should I make it Special from yours?
This life has to be different from the rest

Yet every time I try, it hurts me more.

The progress is slow and hurting
Gain comes with pain (not sure)
Patience is the password

But it still hurts to try...

If I meet you today, I will still wonder
If life should be like this always
Very predictable as usual

It wont hurt though
Because I am different now.
