"Nice"
I hate everything.
I’m screaming on the inside
Crying on the inside
I keep pounding at walls that
Nobody can see
Except for my aching soul
My eyes are frantically searching
Every which way
Every which way
Every which way
For an exit that doesn’t exist
I’m trapped in conformity
Sure I can resist
But that’s not “right”
But where does “right” get you?
“Right” gets you a “nice” house in a suburb
With a “nice” husband and
A couple of “nice” kids
A perfectly “nice” life just like every other
Person who grew up
Doing the “right” thing
But I don’t want to be
Like every other person
I don’t want a “nice” house in a suburb with
A “nice” husband and
A couple of “nice” kids
Nice isn’t good enough
Nice isn’t good enough
Nice isn’t good enough
Right feels so wrong
But what other choice do I have?
Nothing.
There is nothing else
Something wrong with this poem?
