Do You Ever Feel

Do you ever feel you can’t be you When it comes to social situations Feel pressured to attend and be seen Conform ….due to others expectations Do you ever feel you want to run away To a place where you are free To be alone with only authentic you To Just Be!

Yes, have definitely felt this way. Being out of place is so uncomfortable. Seems as if social situations require a certain level of conformity...perhaps that's why I don't like them much...nicely done, Deb...have a great evening, Sara

Yes, take me out of this executive work environment and put me in nature wearing my overalls (35 year plea)! What you write of is applicable, I would think, to all people; all have felt out of place at one time or another. AND 'authentic' is one of my favorite words, authentic is so important to me. A life that is not authentic, it's not rea,l ergo your life was wasted - that line of thought. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
