Different

I want to be

different.

Not because

I like cold pizza,

and not because

I like Ricky Martin.

Not because I

like to eat peanut butter

from the jar,

Not because I'm short.

Not because I

know what Shoofly Pie is,

and not because I do things

like bring a hymnal

to my first child's birth.

Not because I watch movies over and over

and over again, or

because I can recall lines for

almost any situation.

No, not because of me

at all.

But because of You,

and who You are to me.

Because of who I

want to be,

now that I am Yours.

 

I long to be different...
