I can't get to sleep so I decided to write a poem....
From the day we are born
From the very moment we take our first steps
We lead a life of misery
Forever confined to a life of debt
From the light of the moon, and the cry of the night
The stars may smile, but the heart will break like a wave in the ocean
And so it goes
People are strange, therefore deemed an outcast
Why is that so?
Simply because we do not follow in your footsteps?
Persecuted for what you perceive to be right and wrong
No sir. I will tell you this.
I am who I choose to be
I will not be bound by these shackles of oppression
Suppressed and ignored no longer
We wear a mask, to conceal our true identity
A performance, for society to accept us
Afraid to express oneself, self conscious, and afraid of the judging eyes
Shed the skin of your former self
And be reborn into an entity that solidifies your legacy..... so that they may remember your name.....
Feel free to add a poem of your own below.....
Can be about anything and everything.....
Feel free to express yourself....
