Linda I. Weischedel - Tad Bit Eccentric

I'm gonna tell you a little something that sets me out from the rest and makes me unique,
even though thru-out my life in some people's eyes I've have been considered a cool, friendly, freak.

There are a few beats that I many bang differently on my drum,
having a style of my own really
doesn't make me odd, peculair, stupid or dumb.

If we created and used the same intruments and recored our song in the same key,
no one could distinguish the difference in the sound
between him, her, or me,
to know the diffrence in each of our personalities would be
something others could not ever be able to see.

I have never been a Trend-Setter,
though all my life I worked hard at making the mannerisms my parents raised me with even better.

I know I am different than all others because that's the way I accepted it to be,
for who I am and what I am,
stating aloud that I finally do love me, FOR ME,
and most importantly
having Bipolar-1 Disorder,
I did indeed struggle and have to work really hard to be this strong person I always knew I could to be.
