Originality

I was once told that “originality was dead,”

And for the longest time, I believed it so.

However, through conflicting opinions,

I realized that it was alive,

And only needed to be reinvented.

 

Because “originality” is you.

You are an Original.

So make yourself into what you want,

And find ways to express yourself through Fashion, Art, Writing, or

Whatever, you need to help you find an authentic fulfilling life.  

 

Forget peer pressure,

Disapproving parents, or

Friends, who are not so friendly.

Do what you do.

 

Dress how you want.

Eat how you want.

Act how you want.

Don’t let society hold you back.
