Do NOT Conform
Location
My hair was too long, but I cut it and it’s too short
My mouth was too loud, but I shut it and there’s still sound
My heart was still aching, but I broke it and it still beats
My soul was too restless, but I tamed it and it still leaps
Through the figments of time
I’ve evolved my life
To conform to the people
To end the strife
What I’ve found on this journey
Is that it never ends
I’ll never fit in
The brick doesn’t bend
But that’s what makes me, me
Nobody stands out the way I do
Or has the energy or proof
To say that they are crazy enough
To mimic my attitude
My flaws have derived from the hatred in their eyes
And that’s what makes me perfect
Perfect enough to despise
They look at the outcast with disgusted disapprovement
And wonder when they will retain the same type of grit to do it
Our flaws determine who can stick out best
Ours flaws are what make us simply flawless
So if your hair is too long, then dye it blue
If your mouth is too loud, scream when’s quiet too
If your heart is still aching, grab the bottle of whipped cream
If your soul is too restless, you can dance with me
