Conformity to social norms, not for me. I am who I am not who society wants me to be. Why is it so hard for you to see? I believe things that you don't. Therefore, you fit and I just won't. I was raised to think freely. Believe in myself and act accordingly. Just because you want me to change, doesn't mean I will. You need to understand my morals and beliefs, they are a part of me not even time can change. |

I like where you're headed with this poem... I too value free thinking. Therefore, wouldn't: Therefore, you fit and I just won't. I was raised to think freely. Be a contradiction?  Christopher |

i admire anyone who stands strong for their beliefs.....but i also recognize that even though some people appear to be conforming, it just means that they are truly following their heart, even if that leads them along with the masses. well done poem..always continue to follow your own calling in life. |

Good for you! You shouldn't let others make you out to be something you're not. Way to go! Loved it! <*\\\>< The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you. |
