Has school destroyed your creativity and self-confidence? I'm working on a book called Recovering From School, to help you heal the damage caused.

Like Everyone Else
byAm 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?

| Posted by: Not the only 18 July 2008 | Comments: I really like this poem...it's so true, unfortunately...all this pressure to become "a mindless drone" rather than following your dreams. My favorite lines: "Am I just a number? Or that number's clone?" Nice work thoughtmaker, I love it! |
