Mind-Less
I apologize for being no LESS then myself. What was I thinking, wait maybe that’s the problem I
was thinking, there I go again using my MIND, my bad.
I’m sorry I took that other road, u know the one LESS traveled, I know I should have followed the
crowd but there I go again being an individual, it’s a habit.
The guilt from not giving in to peer pressure is getting to me, I hate my conscience I mean Why I
got to have morals? Don’t nobody else got them, and if they do they shoal ain't using them.
I hate being in the talented tenth, people expect me to do something with my life
I have an idea (don’t tell anybody, that’s not cool) maybe if we MINDed not having a MIND we
would spend more of our time growing instead of showing, that we are a photo copy of what is
cool, the truth is nobodies alike, I don’t even breathe like anyone else, when I walk I do this thing
where my head is held high it kind of resembles pride. there I go again being intellectual, forgive
me it won’t happen again.
