Like Everyone Else
by thoughtmakerAm I supposed to be normal
Like everyone else?
Just like the book,
You put back on the shelf?
Live my own life
I try to defy
All those that tell me
To work nine to five
Eight hours a day
A mindless drone
Am I just a number?
Or that number’s clone?
So unoriginal,
Always the same,
Am I the only one,
With the guts to complain?
Am I the only,
Or am I insane?

My parents tell me to behave, fit in, and get A's. My school tells me to obey, memorize and be the same as every other brainwashed victem. Great poem dude, peace out |
