I Am Different Poem by Blessing Ikponmwen

I may not be moving at your pace,
But I keep moving to a better phase,
I may not be your idea of beautiful,
But here lies life's art making life meaningful.

I may not be the tallest on earth,
But I keep reaching out to greater heights,
I may not have that sparkling dentition,
But my smiles comes deep from the heart.

I may not have all the money in the world,
But I am content reaching out as much as I can,
I may not be on the cover of the best magazines,
But the services of 'Thank you' and 'God bless you' gives me content.

I may not be on top of the world,
But I am definitely not where I use to be,
I may not be the best that you want me to be,
But I am the best that God has made me to be.

I may not have all the arsenals to fight back,
But with love my battles are won,
I may not be the best footballer,
But I strive hard to achieve my goals.
I may not be the best chef,
But my recipes to life show that life is good,
I may not have the 'worlds best',
But I have the rest that gives me rest.

I face my fears with faith
I fall but I rise up
I fail but I don't quit
I am not you
But I am me
And if in case you still don't know
I am different.
