I Am a Bird

The archaic phrase is still in effect; "birds of a feather flock together."

I am a bird with marvelous plumage.
No two of my feathers are exactly alike.
One could say I have one of ev'ry color of the rainbow
But that is an understatement.
Rainbows only have seven colors,
I also have black, and white, and brown, etc.

Because of my diversity, I often stand alone.
There is no flock in which I fit right in.
Only a few of my feathers fit in.
The rest of me is an art museum.
The art cannot be touched with trouble stirring up.
I can only give certain pieces of me to certain flocks.

Birds of a feather flock together.
Which flock shall I join?
I love all my feathers.
Any birds out there with as many diverse feathers as I?
We can compare and contrast our quirks.
Let us walk in unison, enjoying shallow fellowship of the masses.

Birds of diverse feathers can't fly from certain tethers.

-------------------------------------
Now I'm going to tell you in plain English my dilemma.

Of all the people I've ever known and loved, it was very difficult for me to relate. I would always have a bit of something in common with someone, but it would be at a completely different degree. Not only that, but everything else was so contradicting. Jesus is the only One whom I have everything in common with. He's the only One whom I can be completely myself in front of. No one else understands me or my ways.

I have learned to accommodate all people into my life regardless of differences. If they respond to me in like manner, we maintain a decent friendship, but there is always a distance there. This distance is mutually exerted as a sign of respect towards our differences - agreeing to disagree, if you will.

It would be a great desire of mine to meet someone in which agrees with every one of my philosophies and such. The only one I'd ever change for is Jesus if He so requires of me to do so, otherwise, I ain't changing for nobody! I don't expect another to change for my sake either. Destiny is not in our control.

Though I'm a loner at heart, my hopes will never die.
