Quicksand

I'm in a land

Made of quicksand

Forced to conform

How can I reform

Do what they do

Wear what they wear

That type of shoe

That style of hair

Don't try to be different, people will think you're odd

Just play their game,always agree and nod

Blend in with the crowd and you're cool

But if you stand out you're breaking a rule

If you don't use drugs then you're a square

You must learn to curse and swear

You must dress in a fashionable way

Or they will make fun of you all day

Well I don't care what they want me to be

I'm just gonna be plain old me

Take me or leave me is all I can say

For I refuse to be part of this play

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is a really old one
but I have the same message I did back then...I never did conform...maybe that is why I feel like a Rebel Without a Cause and why I found James Dean and stuff happened spiritually there in major ways and I was on a quest...but...never let yourself sink into the cesspool is that a typo or what, do ya know what I mean? Do not sink, swim baby, swim be strong don't lose your direction...go for it wherever or whatever it maybe...just do it and don't think too much...thinking too much can make you crazy...take it from me...enuf said

Agree don't given in to the cesspool of others demands.Do what you feel is right for you,you will find out sooner or later if it was a right choice and if not ,you've learned from the experience. Be your genuine self and don't let others try to change you. I'm not saying don't compromise at times because you should but never compromise your own personal values........
