Neat! Reminds me of a friend, who has an accent that's a blend of arabic, hebrwe and welsh. He always stands out, and he's proud of it.

So much in a short space!
Nice! What I "get" from this is that we are all unique individuals; whether we "stand out" or not is really not our choice. We are who we are. That's a comforting idea--we needn't and shouldn't worry about it. The speaker in the poem seems to accept the fact that sometimes who he is will cause him to stand out, whether that's a good experience or a bad one. As Popeye says: "I yam what I yam!"

A great piece with no roundabout explaination; this piece is quite good

simple, straightforward, perhaps because it's so short and there wasn't much room for error, this piece stands out...
