Trust thyself.
Great men have always done so.
Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
I am part of God.
In the wilderness I find something more dearly than in the streets or villages.
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
To be great is to be misunderstood.


The author's comments:
It is a poem I wrote that made me think about how people can always be misunderstood. Even if that is true, the some of the greatest people in history have been misunderstood, therefore it is okay to be misunderstood.
