I'd Rather Be Me
Cliques, Social norms,
Social acceptability,
Social Anything!
Girl Code, Guy Code,
"invisible" rules that
only complicate things.
Teens vs. Adults;
A society driven by
constant rivalry.
Arguments over who's
good looking and
what's the best song.
Do these people not
understand that
America is diverse?
No one else
has a say in
what I like!
I have removed
myself from the
trap of society.
"No one does that anymore"
and "This is in" go in one
ear and you know the rest.
Give me a t-shirt and
pants (matching not
required) and I'm fine.
I'm not on this Earth
for an audience to
observe my "style."
I prefer to call "hashtag"
the number sign as well as
call the "Willis Tower"
the "Sears Tower."
I'm not going to change
to follow a crowd I don't
want to be around.
I'm perfectly fine
with my own beliefs
and my fortress of solitude.
I'd rather be free
than stuck in a cage
for the sake of pleasing others.
