I would have to say, be your own person. I find you to be refreshing and unique. A small offering with heart is better than a huge plate with no substance.
Enjoy your six today for this fine poem, Jesse. Happy New Year.

Wow, Sally, I will most definitely enjoy your six star rating! Thank you for your sweet and kind comments. I like your comparison of a small offering versus a huge plate. Well put. Best wishes for a great new year.
Take care, Jesse

Comment from Y. M. Roger
Isn't it funny how it is easier to be unique yet still belong in some circles and definitely not in others.... almost as if the 'mixture' itself depends upon the individual ingredients. And mobs are the worst - they feed off of each other's animosity such that any uniqueness is abhorred.....
A wonderful offering, Jesse, in a unique abc, abc, abc.... rhyme scheme that really says a lot more than is written in words, sir -- beautiful presentation except that I would say that 'normalcy' is definitely what YOU define it as and NOT what others or the 'circles' or the 'mobs' say it should be. ;) :) Thanx for sharing!! ;) Happy Upcoming 2020 over there!! ;) Yvette

Hi Yvette. I love your perspective on the 'mixture' we find ourselves in, and how 'mobs' are the worst, in any situation, even with good intentions. I am glad you noticed and liked the rhyme scheme, and that you could read between the lines. You know me that well and I love it. The term, 'normalcy' is meant to be uncertain, with a different definition for every one of us. Thanks for this wonderful review and excellent rating. Happy new year to you, too.
Take care, Jesse

A captivating photo reeled me in and then aah, a person who embraces individuation and still willing to remain cohesive in the world of other Beings doing human things.... very cool thought! Well delivered in each stanza.

This poem, One Smiling Word, presented in ABC rhymed tercets, voices the struggle we all have with being ourselves within a cell of others. Poems like this, which push a format yet keep meaning, help identify you.
