Conformity

Mon, 11/03/2014 - 01:46 -- aleal

I am surrounded by the need to conform

But I refuse to

I will forever be unique

 

My mask is introversion

It shields me well

Because of it I am independent but often alone

 

I shed my mask

Around family and friends

I shed my mask

When I feel comfortable

I shed my mask

And become extroverted

 

But as I step back out into the world

I return my mask to my face

For I do not want to be blemished

By society’s norms
