VOL. XV, NO. 6

By KATHY LAPOINTE

I am different, my own self
Yet I follow patterns of life,
Trying to catch up to the next guy
Learning of hunger and strife.

People need to be their own
Doing only the things they can,
Being free to live in a shell
Not trying to copy the next man.

So take these words and reflect
That you are you, and I am I,
And our thoughts should mean no thoughts except
To seek when they have won.
