BEING ME

She lived in a world that was black and blue.
Her face was pale yet it reflected the darkness in her world.
Her emotions were tied up.
Her world was empty.
Friends thought she was a rebel.
Strangers thought she was arrogant.
But no one knew that she was neither arrogant nor a rebel.
She was just different from them.
Different in the way she thought, the way she spoke and many more.
Never did she know that the difference in her that she loved would one day 
Leave her inside of a dark empty world.
She craved for someone to understand her.
She craved for someone to support her.
But the speculations around her continued.
It was hard for her to accept this.
She wanted to give up.
She wanted a normal life without the difference.
But that never happened.
Because she had so many bright colors within herself that they made her shine the brightest among all.
After all the stars cannot shine brighter without the darkness can they?

It's easy to be engulfed in the darkness around you that judges the difference in you.

It's normal to want to not be judged.
You might also not want to be different from the others.
Coping up with the people around you would be all what you may want to do.
But you have to remember that no matter how hard you try to stop being yourself just to get along with the world.
The hues inside you is going to make you shine the brightest.
So don't let your colors fade and be who you are!
