Acceptance/Refusal Hello and welcome to our show. Tonight we'd like to recognize Those who have survived. Their dreams, Their nightmares, Their youth. Those who have succesfully Molded themselves into adults. STOP!!!! I'm sorry, this can't go on Something needs to be said Who's molding who, Us or you? Yes, we've shaped ourselves, Into what you wanted. You built the molds We just poured ourselves in 'Skinny' ones in this stack, 'Fat' ones in that stack. Where'd you put the 'freaks'? Ooh - not so close to the 'geeks'! Now where'd the 'rich' pile go? Still stealing from the 'poor'? This needs to stop! What will you do If the molds break? I'm so sorry, Have I ruined your night? Yes I know it's "our night" But who are you trying to fool? Take one out of the old mold Put it up on stage, Let it tell "...How much we've loved it here..." "...How much we've grown..." Now don't stop there, Didn't you forget something? Tell how "...You've helped us mold ourselves into better people..." What?!? Please sit down? Why...I'm not disrupting This peaceful masquerade, am I? Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not so used to your mold I don't have walls around ME YOU have no control .............. .............. .............. i'm not quite through yet -- but i just needed to get this out, i know it's a little long - sorry  |

I liked this so far, even though it is long. It's something that I agree with, that I've been thinking for a long while. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the rest of it... ~Kristi Lynn  |

You seem to be concern about so many molds and so many molders and trying to break out of the mold. There is only one mold UNBROKEN and PERFECT which we should all want and try to conform to the only one that truly matters and by now I hope you've guessed it JESUS! Happy Ash Wednesday! |

angel--thank you so much for responding! it's encouraging to know that what i'm writing really does relate to people :> -- paul...i know that Jesus is the only mold we should try to fill  the point of this poem is to TRY to express how pointless all the 'molds' society put forth really are. thanks for your input |
