I AM THAT BIRD
Born 1951, M, from Rocky Mount / NC, United StatesI AM THAT BIRD! ~~By Eddie Palmon
I am the bird the average bird will not fly with. I glide on winds with a greater wingspan, multicolored, that differentiates me from the others who seek mediocrity on their flights to the mundane. I am THAT bird.
I fly higher than the eagles among them, and I sing and soar to music they cannot hear. I am THAT bird.
They call me the odd bird because I strive to stay right, learn all there is I need to know, respecting the rights of others as I go with the wind. I am laughed at, and bullied at times, and their tweets sometimes may sting, but it does not penetrate my soul, for I know who I am and where I want go. I am THAT bird.
I am the bird they secretly wish they could be, but they dare not deviate from the flock, their peers they follow behind blindly. I no longer am encased in the mold of my peers, as I need room to grow strong, intelligent and wise. I will continue my flight to perfection.
Yes, I am that odd bird they point to, the egg-head, studious and on course, never veering left or right, never ruffling feathers on my journey to maturity. Their jealousy dictates the ordinary, mundane bird's tongue because they know not what to make of me. I am unique.
So I say, take hold of yourself, and soar with this odd bird when your are tired of flying on the same wind, parroting followers, never becoming your own leader! Break away and open your eyes to all there is to see!
Declare yourself free of peer pressure! Be the bird who does not flock with the ordinary! Be THAT bird!
