Held in Difference

[unwritten]

I never wanted to be like them
Never wanted to risk my soul
But somewhere down the line
I got tired of paying the toll

I don’t want to change me
That was never the plan
Though to everyone else
They still do all they can

What’s wrong with me?
Am I not allowed to be who I am?
Is it against your rules,
To be different from them?

So I’ve unconsciously conformed
Had normal seep into my mind
But that’s not enough for you
You still demand what uniqueness I hide

But if being different
Means always being alone
I’m not sure I can take it
Not sure I can keep hold

[Hunter]

But if being different
Means always being alone
I’m not sure I can take it
Not sure I can keep hold

I like this.

To be different from them?

For so very many reasons.. These lines hit a special place for me. People always look down their noses at who I am. I break societies rules, maybe to much...

I enjoyed this poem perhaps more then I have enjoyed any on any of the boards in a very very long time.. thank you for sharing ut
