Thomas, actor and friend,
Oh, pleasure to be around,
There are some who get a thrill from
Solving an equation in math,
Or memorizing dates in social studies.
Others seek to be fake in front of a crowd
To impress, to catch as many eyes as
Possible. Still others wish to blend in,
To never have a name, to never be noticed
And not stir things up. These are quiet, shy
People, not answering questions in class.
More seek only to ridicule and put people
Down, in an attempt to boost themselves
Up. These people are generally disliked.
Some are stingy, never giving a penny
Extra, while others are cowards, lacking the
Gumption to complete a task. Meddlers
Find thrill in conflict, creating chaos
Whenever possible. Not you. You are the
Individual. You do not need to be told that
You are smart, as you know you are
Intellectually. You do not need to be fake to
Impress others; you do that as you are. You
Always stand out, are always generous, and are
Courageous, and you always know what
Others are thinking. You find pleasure in
True culture, in music, in dance, in acting.
Others never strive to be the best that they
Can be, but in your field, that is all you do.
For that, someday you will reach the stars.
