My Beautiful Individuality
Don't let the world change who you are
When I found the ways I liked to be
They said no, and excluded me
They said I should conform, fit in
Be their way
They said what they liked
I should like
They said what they wore
I should wear
They said what they believed
I should believe
They said…
They said…
They said…
They said so many things, that just weren’t true
But gradually, I felt them remaking me
These harsh opinions, these angry raw truths
These people, these words, this world a noose
It wipes out my beautiful individuality
Until I go silent. I shut down my voice.
I shut down my joy, my me, my choice
But I, I have learned the harshest lesson of all
The world
Does not care if I conform
The world
Does not care
Because it remembers my beautiful individuality
It remembers the person that I used to be
The person it didn’t want me to be
The person I always needed to be
The person it took
Away from me

Writing and reading have always been my escape and passion. I've explored other things, but nothing pulls me in & draws me back like writing. I love reading all of your stories, keep writing!
