Color outside the dark linesDiscover shapes formed by cloudsRefuse to believe in dogmas Write a story of your own.Let them judge and criticize youDon't abide by their rules;In a world full of rhymesYou are a three-line haikuUnderstood by only a fewBorn to stand out; not to fit in.
Read books that are seldom readTravel to places less exploredTake refuge in the awning of artSpeak the truth that's been buried.Know the rules by heartSo that you can bend them;In a world of pop and hip-hopYou are a classic retroEveryone should hear your echoBorn to stand out; not to fit in.
Sing and dance on the streetsLaugh and cry, shedding every inhibitionFly with the wings of your expressionFrom the stifling cage of the society;Let them ridicule and taunt youWear the badge of a rebel with prideIn a world of emails and text messages,You are a scented, handwritten letterThat everyone will rememberBorn to stand out; not to fit in.

Note:  An ode is a poem that praises or glorifies a person, thing or place. The word 'ode' comes from the Greek word "aeidein" which means to sing or chant. This is a type of lyric poetry which was widely used by Romantic poets to convey their strongest emotions and sentiments. Rhyming is optional and its stanza forms vary.
