Different

The same word can have different meanings...

By Sarah StoryPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Think about the meaning of a word,

Any word

But is the definition of the word, all the word is or all it can be?

Not necessarily...

So why is that we look at situations, people, and life one sided?

Why is it so hard for us as a people, as the human race,

to open our eyes we and accept the fact that the person that stands behind you in the checkout line is different.

I think it's that word.

Different.

Different is amazing

Different is unusual.

Different is unique.

Different can open up your heart

Different can show you who you really are inside.

Different is me.

I am different.

But I am me.

No one can change that

Society can label, and judge

Make it hard for the different to be accepted

Supposed Friends are quick to disappear when different is in the air,

Real friends don't care what you wear or how you talk or who you love

Nevertheless,

I am still different

Family,

Family is hard to because they were there, They are there,

They raised me,

They taught me what it means to be a woman, and how to carry myself with pride, humility, and honor.

Family is why I am here

But I am different.

So

What now

Here's the question I leave in your lap and on your mind.

Is the definition of a word all the word can be?
