Deviant thoughts and a broken quill
They've fallen down and broken the seal
Following rules made by the inept
Watching them step over the concept
Step on you, step on me
They don't see they'll never be free
Let 'em believe in their constitution
Watch 'em fade and die in disbelief
I'll pass by while they die and let 'em see
Let 'em see what it's like to be me
They see me through contemptious eyes
I, the only one to dodge their decetful lies

Backed against the wall of pride
lifting tounges showing the hate inside
I walk through fields of eyes blazing red
In this world i feel almost dead
Replaced by haughty words of poison lips
The truth is gone from all our lips
We've fallen down but it can't be real
We've fallen down and broken the seal

This was a great poem. The only thing that caught me off guard was the fact that you used LIPS in two lines straight.
But anyway this was a great read.

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!
