Greatness

Greatness is not uniform My spirit is untouched though the people that surround me speak otherwise. Greatness is not uniform The accolades those who came before me achieved were told to be unattainable on the path I set out to walk. Greatness is not uniform If being kind is the seed to life yet you tell me the future I wish for is spoiled, what insight does that give about your core? Greatness is not uniform You all say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree yet you're disgusted that my apple didn’t fall in the exact spot you predicted? Greatness is not uniform You call my dreams a waste of time, the very essence of my core unworthy of genuine thought or attention to grow into realization. Greatness is not uniform You think the only way I can achieve greatness is if I follow the path you all set out for me. I’ll show you what I can do by carving my own path. My greatness will break your precious uniformity.
