(42) Odd Duck

Odd duck is what I am

Never quite fitting right

Not even my body is normal

with the O Negative blood, the PCOS, the pancreatitis, the back bending knees

And what of my heart?

I'm an introvert & an INFJ

Rare, rare, rare

I love Shakespeare & Star Wars

I crochet & bake pies & write handwritten letters

So much about me

is a little odd

I've come to accept my weird & my good

I'll never be conventional

or exactly what you might expect

I'll never leave you quite the same

When our paths cross & intersect

I hope you see

that I'm not the only one

with surprises & secret worlds

inside of me

each one of us is beautiful & brilliant 

& odd

in our own ways

Let's embrace it

& become a cheerful flock 

of all the odd ducks
