There is a Set Mold for Humanity
June 3, 2015
There is a set mold for humanity.
If happiness is what you seek, then you’ll:
Do this, say that, walk this path; mindless fool.
Slowly falling into insanity,
Wear the mask and love your own vanity.
If you’re different, you’re a freak, not cool,
And you’re no longer society’s tool.
People will hate you, well out profanity
When, truly, they just want to be like you.
They have longed for uniqueness for too long,
Yet they hesitate to act out of fear.
We rely too much on what people do.
But now it is time to be strong.
We will walk a new path; heart and soul clear.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! That really makes me feel so good to know there are people who like my work! I appreciate it so much!
WoW I don't know what to say, I'm speechless! I can still hear every word resounding in my ear. What a strong and powerful piece of art! Your poem carries the truth, the deep meaning and the honesty about a message that should be shared with the world. I think what you are trying to convey here is easily recieved for you have an elegant way of writing and letting people dive into your words and feel them. You have a great talent and you should keep going, spread your words everywhere and let your voice be heard. Your poem was simply a goo Wake Up Call ^_^ Keep it up and thank you for sharing this.
I was asked to write a sonnet based on my answer to the question "What is more difficult to achieve, being the same of being different?" My answer was being different.
