Thank you Jason
How NOT to be like everyone else

                The first thing I must teach you
                        Is Words are Slutty
                They’ve been in everyone’s
                              Mouth.
                      A great quote,
        The second thing
        Is to find your
                        OWN
              Voice.
          Don’t listen to
              Everyone else
                    They say they know everything
                                They Don’t
                  They have never tasted
                                Chocolate Lavender
                  They have never smelled
          The wet beach sand of Topsail Island in the summer
                                          While holding his hand
                            They have not lived
                                YOUR LIFE!
                      Speak from your heart
                              Be your self.
                          But that’s not all
                        Because even being
                              Yourself,
                                      You can fall into the bear traps of
                                                      CLICHÉS!!
                        Her eyes, the colour of summer skies
                          His hair, the colour of fire
              Pearly white, Midnight black, Lime Green, Lemon Yellow?
                              Had enough, theres more!!
                  Rose petal lips, sparkling eyes, hear a smile
                      Taste a colour, smell a sound
                        I could keep going but
                          I’m going to stop
                          Just remember
                              CREATE
                                    Something
                                          That you like
                          Something that’s new
                                  A new idea
                                    Maybe
                                  Someday
                            Everyone will follow
                                Just what you said!
                      With batman black
                      And superman blue
                            Spiderman red or magicians hat too!!
        Tangy orange and violent purple
                            Create something
                                Be a writer
                                  Be an artist
                                    Be YOU
