I'm suppose to
care,
to stand up and be aware
that if it's even just one hair out of place,
it's a sin.

If I be myself in
public,

at that one in hundreds just for some
superficial win.

I'm suppose to make
a face,
to look angry when out of place,
because otherwise I'm some wuss to be stepped on,
not a kingpin.

So I must show
you're worth the time
to make up some silly rhyme
to excuse my look and actions and be comfortable
in my skin.

This is not the
first time that I've broken a pattern,
nor will it be the last, because I prefer the flat turn,
not the slow curve that the cautious might discern
as how life goes when we stick with a slow burn.

I'm not
illegible I'm incorrigible but you know what you're getting when you look at me:
A book in the making, not down for the shaking, if you want the ingredients, then just look and see.

You can
set up your pyres, try your best to lite fires, you can try to tear apart who I am,
but your efforts mean nothing, your harsh words, all bluffing, I'll still the cat who don't give a damn.

I've just
had it to here with the hate and the fear that I have to act out when it's just not real
I'm not some stone-hearted golem, I'm really quite solemn, it's just that your words don't make me feel.

So just,
get off your high horse, find a way to be less coarse, and maybe, one day, try to be sincere,
cause you're lying to yourself, if you think to find wealth from trying to take someone else's cheer.

We're all
here for a reason, and to be us isn't treason to whoever made rules that said don't be you,
so just let it all go, let the uniqueness flow, and just try to find happiness for others being true.
