~¤ Conformity ¤~


Each generation
Seeking
  Identity
Energy and freedom of
Youth
  Torn apart by
   Confusion
    
Trying to
Define
  Self
In terms
Other than
  Those
   Before
    
Yet we
Always
  Seem to
Drift back
Into
  Old
   Ways
    
Losing that
Innocence
  Rebellion
At the forge of
Reality
  Broken by
   Conformity
    
It's a wonder
Anything
  New
Ever evolves
When so many
  Can only think of
   Fitting in


"Every body has their destiny...
I'LL CHOOSE MY OWN

*slaps IsGona five* Amen mah brotha!!

Anyway this is completely true, i agree with all of you. I fit in with everything you all say. Whatever you all say, i agree with.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

Great poem! I truly agree. Although I catch myself buying into the conformist ways on occasion, I try to stay away. Awesome poem!

IsGona: Ohhh YES!! I can totally identify with this piece. I am sick to death of the same conformists I have to deal with everyday. Wouldn't it be nice if they could get a backbone and stand up for themselves...

Most of us know this one well, it would be great if the world didn't conform to 3 or 4 images, but they do.  People care too much about it...  I am at the stage in my life where I don't want to fit in...  I want to be different to everybody else...  I want to be me, and I am, completely...  I am different, strange and weird in my own little ways!!
  GREAT POEM!!

Dont believe what ur eyes r telling u they only show limitation. Look with ur understanding, find out what u already know & u will see the way to fly
