Defiance and air


I defy to listen to the words to listen to the herd to let my peers Be heard to these ears I alone control. I let myself join those who do not partake in the teasing, The hurt, the disrespect The worse pain is to feel someone you physically breath with turn against you It twists the air and your heart. And why don't people understand this? Because they don't chose to defy. Defy the natural, become yourself because nobody is normal Nothing is normal Accept yourself and others, for your air that you share is the same Air is the only bond we have. Why ruin it with tainted words?
