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.
