Its okay to be you!

  • NB: I wrote something similar to this on Twitter for someone 🙂 I have since changed it and posted it here!
    Its okay to be you … 

    I like pink, purple and dolls, Princesses and fairies, bears and sparkles!
    But I also like Mechanics, Science and blocks! I like spaceships!!! Adventures that get rough… !

    Heroes with powers.. Amazing big boats!
    And of course creative things that make me think a-bunch!

    Though Sometimes I get told,
    “That’s not for you!! That’s for ‘those others!’ because its just the rules!”

    But I will tell you now, this isn’t true!!
    This world has been shaped by those different like you and I!

    So lets pick our sparkles, our pinks and purples!
    Lets pick up our robot arms… Hey! Lets even build a castle!!

    Lets do what we wish, like what we like.
    Because we are not bound to these groups ‘decided’

    Our differences are okay! They might even be important!
    Who knows ! Maybe they will change the world some day.

    ~~  To my special friends-
    Thank you all for being unique and diverse.

    Love Matty
