A house with no supports couldn&#039;t stand nither can we. My support is the Lord what&#039;s yours?<br /> Psalm 62:6<br /> He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

I am sick of being one of the crowd.
I do not want to be just another one.
I want to be different.
I scream for individualism.
But I am still just one of the crowd.
Moving along, day to day
Nothing special,
Just one of many
I want to make my mark.
Be my own person.
Do my own thing.
Instead I am stuck as one,
One of the crowd
Nothing special
Nothing important
One of many
Walking the path of many
One of the crowd
Lost forever
One of many
Just another of the crowd.
