Castigation

Stephanie Alford
You condemn me for being myself
While you conform to others
Never speaking your own mind
Hypocritical of your own mentality
Secretly wishing you could speak your own mind
In the same fashion
That you supposedly find fault with
As demonstrated by my protests
Ostracize me all you wish
I won't change for you or another
I'd hate for the world
To be as narrowminded as you
So continue to condemn me
Know that I am different
To be like you would be an abomination
Of my individualistic mental capacity

I've returned from my little emotional sabbatical. Much better now.  View profile

    You don't have to change.
