Society Won'T Change Me

have you ever let someone make you feel like youre out of place, see the looks they give like you must be from outerspace, our society is judgemental where any difference is a disgrace, pain is felt by so many, society spitting in their face, if you break free from normality they will only throw you away, become another casualty of a world slipping everyday, people feelin enough pain inside to choose it better not to stay, it needs to change. person by person being told what they need to be, an imaginary standard most think they need to meet, but when those standards drop all thats left is concrete, and the people who surround you turn to judgement and deceit, if you are left feeling like you have nowhere else to go let life plant some motivation i swear that in time it will grow and with a smile on your face and a newly found glow take it out into the world and display it, let it show ideally it will be seen and hopefully be spread, take away the insecurities and bad thoughts in peoples head, so for once the concience can be clean when they lay down in their bed, eventually we can pray the misery and guilt can all be shed hope that i can help the process with the poetry i write, take away the jealousy set me free of all my spite but can i really make a difference using my pen as my might, i hope we can all start over, and maybe this time get it right, until that day i promise: i will not give up on the fight.
