I am....all about perspective.
I am….
(Read from top to bottom)
The one painted with society’s disapproval.
I will never be
The fluorescent light in a black room
I’ve managed to become
The one who takes a backseat
I can’t imagine being
The best thing in the world
Making a difference is
Not in the cards for me
Sitting back;
Is more my style
Imagination;
Isn’t worth anything
Conformity;
Is the way the dice lie
Staying true to your heart;
That is wrong; the reality is
Conforming is the way to go
We are told
Be yourself, and people will accept you
That is a lie
Conform to society’s fears of being unique
Be "normal," they say
It’s not fun to
Fight against the majority
My mindset is
To not reach for the stars when given the moon
It’s a joke
To smile at everyone I pass
I have learned
Not to take a chance at life
I am afraid
To get up and dance
I love
The lack of self worth around me
I am ashamed of
My loved ones
I am the one who always remembers
The things that people say
I don’t believe
Being unique makes me special
