When a Gift Becomes a Curse

Must I conform… To an idea that I was not a part of To a definition that I did not agree on To a society that does not know me …when they seem so limited? Must I adapt… To another’s belief system To another’s set of morals To another’s expectation …when they seem so wrong? Must I be confined… Because I see more Because I hear more Because I feel more …because I have been given more? Must I be so alone… Because I refuse to conform Because I refuse to adapt Because I refuse to be confined …because I am alone.
