Society and Me


A robot in a flesh body,

Everyone functions uniquely,

What society needs,

What society wants,

 

Aspergers, OCD, dystonia,

Everyone has labels,

What society defines,

What society finds,

 

Nerd, loner, geek

Everyone has a cliche

What society identifies,

What society classifies,

 

Ignored in the crowd,

Everyone hides away,

What society shuns,

What society taboos,

 

This is who I am,

Everyone has a true side,

What society overlooks,

What society ignores,

 

I am an actor,

Everyone hides emotions,

What society feels,

What society thinks.
