Yeti was my nickname in high school.
It was intended to be mean
Heartless
But honestly, it made sense.
A yeti is an abominable snowman
A mystic creature of the Himalayas.
If that's how people choose to see me,
Let me go with it!
It makes sense.
I enjoy snow
I'm a bit clumsy on my feet
I'm a big person
No one really understand me...
Maybe in times like this,
I shouldn't focus on the negative.
Just turn it on its head
And make it positive.
After all, it's better to be a yeti
Than a lemming
Following the leader,
Not thinking for yourself.
I don't take insult
To being called my own person.
...And neither should you!

This is wonderful! I love how original and creative it is, and what you did with the prompt. This personally spoke to me because I've been sasquatch to my friends for a long time now.
"After all, it's better to be a yeti
Than a lemming"
I love it.
