Society's Wrath

Stephanie Alford
Society says that...
I will never become a doctor
I will never be a great writer
I will never amount to anything
I will die lonely
I will never be popular
I will always be different
While some of this may be true
I embrace my creative individuality
So, to society, I say:
"I will never understand YOU"

    All you can do when you are faced with others negative opinions of you and your capacity is to prove them wrong. Have faith in yourself. Work for what you want and be the best person that you can be. I agree with you!

    i rarely give society's views a thought. life is too short, to live worrying about what others think about you.

    Well said. Society - and social acceptance tends to place limits on us all. It's recognizing that, and rising above that make us who we are.
