ODD ONE OUT

Do you ever feel
Like the odd one out?
Do people's words and actions blow
Your confidence and leave you in doubt?

You work your butt off to do
Things completely and right--
Then someone comes and gripes
About your work--out goes your inner light.

You didn't do it their way, so of course
It must be wrong.  Though
Your way is different, the result is
The same.  And so it goes.

You have to do things the same way
Every time, and keep to their schedule.
They don't understand you're not a clone.
They make accomplished workers feel like fools.

When someone's area is messy--instead
Of precise and neat--
It at least shows they're working,
Others shouldn't touch or speak.

You should just do your best,
And let God deal with the others.
Let His love and light shine through you--
And ignore those who try to make you suffer.
