Calling All Freaks

Going through life
Always so different
Than others around me
Became deliberate

Why not conform?
Save myself trouble
But that would chase boredom
Cause me to stumble

Why’s it so hard
To meet those like me?
I gave up on trying
Never went bougie 

To save my mind
All of my heartstrings
Became introverted
Eyes rimmed with dark rings

Lately I’ve found
My phrasing again
Writing down my feelings
Has brought a new spin

When I go out
To do things I do
The universe provides
Other parts of my crew

A glam cowboy
Eyes red as the sun
Flawless full makeup
Heart can’t be outdone

Full metal clerk 
Black leathers and chains
Cat- and chicken-doting
Dedication in flames

Pray to the heavens
Parade never ends
Freaks make me so happy
They are my best friends

This is a celebration of those who dare to be different. I love it when others are moved to rock their chosen looks and turn out to be the best people on Earth! — Liora
