Embracing Uniqueness: Not Everyone Will Like You

Not everyone will like you—this is true,
A truth as simple as the sky is blue.
Their whispers may sting, their glances may stray,
But life carries on in its resolute way.

To offend and be offended is part of the game,
Moments of discord, moments of blame.
Yet no great disaster will darken the air,
For the heart learns to mend, to forgive, to repair.

The weight of this world is not yours alone,
Nor is the task to carve it in stone.
It’s in the trying that life finds its grace—
Trying to love, to uplift, to embrace.

Try to care for another, to lend them your hand,
To nurture a dream, to help them to stand.
Try to see beauty where others see none,
In the shadow of dusk, in the rise of the sun.

You can do anything; your path is your own,
As long as no harm by your steps is sown.
Strive to be happy, let joy light your way,
Even as troubles may colour your day.

Never stop seeking the wonder that gleams,
In laughter, in stillness, in unspoken dreams.
For life is a treasure—each breath, every hue,
And not everyone will like you. That’s okay, too.
