Cookie-Cutter Version
COOKIE—CUTTER VERSION
true confession time stands and gears
itself to concede in honest declaration
the guilt of heeding to the scrutiny of
veiled opinion from self-seeking minds
the process is set in motion as worldly
influences pull you to match the mould
and modify yourself pleasing their moral
principles tweaking your uniqueness dry
one of a kind we are inimitable and rare
our essence blends our behaviour and
appearances selected in singular specs
rarely the ‘cookie-cutter’ version we
perceive
