Levity
Why is it that I lack a palette
For the whimsical and trivial
For cheery and hysterical
For tawdry and all frivial
Dreamers in a dreamworld
Filled with rainbow lace and golden ribbon
Bubbles silver, trumpets bronze
their idle talk - materially driven
People all around me
And their petty little chatter
They smile and they smirk
They pretend that it all matters.
Why cannot I share this stupor?
Why cannot i just accept?
Conform with those around me
Throw away all self respect
To be wise is to lonely
To see when all are blind - a sin
I'm despised for not pretending
Cast away for not fitting in

I understand and really
I understand and really respect you writing this piece, although we must at least try and be artful, because if something really bad happened to anyone it can really affect them, though I do know what you mean some people are melodramatic for trivial things like rivalry and jealousy etc...
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
