What are we doing here?

We are not here to fit in, be well balanced, or provide examples for others.
    We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange,
        perhaps merely to add our small piece,
            our little clunky, chunky selves,
                to the great mosaic of being.
As the gods intended,
    we are here to become more and more ourselves.
