<\/div>\n
Yes. – You! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are special <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and i don’t mean <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
because U R unique<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
one of a kind<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
‘nd all that B.S.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
they feed you down at <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the self help section. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
No. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You may have <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
brought down 387 Spitfires over Germany<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You may have <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
painted better than Picasso every done<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You may have <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
been declared a saint <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
(and damn well know you ain’t)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You may have <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
been the first man on another moon<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
…..<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I don’t give a shit<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
nor does the universe<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
for<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
you are special<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
in, of, and, as (you name the preposition)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
you are. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Don’t believe the buggers<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
that nail us to a wall <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and describe how this one <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
is a work of art<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the other not. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Don’t believe the number numers<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the rankers with their files<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the check markers with their critic’s smiles.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are special because <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
you are necessary. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Each photon of your enormity<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
says that <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
you are here and <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
this world wouldn’t exist<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
without you ….<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You may be a rock star<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
or slinging beer at a bar.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You may be on stamps <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
or enjoy fast cars. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Doesn’t matter ….<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Rich or poor<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
slow or sore. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are special. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
So relax and be. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There is nothing you <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
have to accomplish or believe<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
save,<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
you are special<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
a god that makes this world<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
go round<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
special found <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
