I write to believe
I write to be free
I write to feel
What I thought
Would never be real
I write to be me
In a world
So wrapped up
In conformity
I write so that my dreams
May someday be
A reality
I write to warn of
The dangers of
A world obsessed
With conformity
There is nothing
Wrong with somebody
Who sees life differently
For it is because of them
That we are able to
Move forward
And make any progress at all
There is strength in unity
And a society
That allows itself
To think and be free
Of the tyranny
Of even the thought
Of conformity
So maybe
Next time
Instead of just
The cover we see
We finally learn
Under the cover to read
Open our minds
And and finally
Set our souls free
