If my strangeness
provokes discomfort in you,
I invite you to delve deeper,
to question the reasons behind
your aversion to the peculiar.
What is it about
embracing the unconventional
that unsettles your perception?
Can you see that you are
painting your self into a corner,
metaphorically speaking?
Just one monkey’s perception.
Perhaps you like
holding discomfort in you.
As for me,
I would rather be unsettled
than settle for the expected.

If my idiosyncrasies
stir unease within you,
I extend an invitation,
a gentle nudge to explore
the roots of your aversion.
What is it about embracing
the unconventional,
the unorthodox,
that ruffles your perception?
Do you realize the confines
you unknowingly confine yourself to,
painting yourself into a corner,
metaphorically speaking?
Just one perspective from a monkey,
an observer of peculiarities.
Could it be that you find solace
in the discomfort you hold within?
As for me,
I prefer the thrill of unsettlement
over the safety of predictability.
Dare to question,
to unravel the threads of conformity,
and embrace the beauty of eccentricity.
