Oh No I have Lost my Ability to Conform
Oh, no! The one giving the eulogy said.
I have lost my keen ability to conform.
Her family gave each other knowing looks;
she had never obeyed.
She was not the type to follow along,
color in the lines or do what others did.
The giggling started and it never stopped;
best celebration of life ever.
Because their matriarch had pre-videotaped her entire

Conform To the Norm
My Baby:
Don't be too quiet, yet don't be too shrill,
Don't be too restless, but neither too still,
Please grow up hardy, yet soft to the touch,
Not seeking too little, nor asking too much.
Years later …
My Child:
Don't be precocious, yet don't be too shy,
The middle-sized apple of you father’s eye,
Don't be too forthright, nor keep to yourself,
Don't

Conform
Degradation of the soul is my lifeline. Burning flames suck out the sublime traits, of overlords stretching to take their turn in front of the lingering hatred of conformity. Your pitying powers of guilt spread over my skin, smother my well-being in sensations of over-bearing heat, lick at the open wound of my heart, as

Conform
It's a constant battle with oneself and society,
with a ridiculous amount of severe anxiety.
Why is it such a big priority,
to live in this world of propriety?
To get through life, you have to pay a fee.
Conformity, it's the one and only key.
You need the paper, you need the degree.
But what use is it, when you're not

Conform
This is what I say about conformity
What an absurd abnormality
Why would I want to be like them
When I feel great about who I am
I don't care if they like me or not
Just as long as they give me a fair shot
People are out for nothing but money and fame
I cannot believe they have no shame
Don't

Clay To Conform
So simple, that we turn to this
we turn and inside out we twist
our words and lips to blow a kiss
to darkness as it echoes
So wicked, that we listen still
we turn and twist against our will
upon the back that's broken 'till
it sings our voice in stone
So human, that we err to breathe
we twist the knife of
