PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's a familiar thought,

one that seems to be constant.

Life seems to be going in one direction,

and I generally steer the course elsewhere.

Bored with the same routine,

wanting change,

at my own pace.

Not worried about the rest,

as long as I don't cause commotion.

I prefer to do what is different,

not going down the same

beaten path with everyone else.

Sorry, I find it

rather boring.

Moving at the same pace,

being like everyone else.

Why do we do that,

because someone,

or some society says we should?

Why can't we make

our own decisions,

live our lives the way we ought to?

Seems like we have to go against the flow

to live as we think we should.

Having to swim upriver

against the steady flow of water

that comes against us.

The forces that keep beating on us,

because we want to live differently.

It might not be a popular idea,

but being different is a good thing sometimes.

Go against the grain.
