Terenty,
Prudent, didactic and witty
A friend to flowers, animals and the celestial city
Terenty oh Terenty
Who loved the birds, wild flowers and herbs
Who fought with mother earth whoever that disturbed
Who feared of a dim morrow, fear of the barren waste, and fear of a world maelstrom
Who changed the lives of few through a clever bloom
Who wished to see a tree planted and sprout
Residing in a hazy village,
The Cobbler

-Your world is plentiful beyond you,
A place of dreams where we once flew,
with kind dragons that painted our star
and all the make-up  mysteries of the bizarre,

When the moon was all but a cold rock
and when the storm was a comforting gentle shock,
All we had sought were flowers to pick
making them into crowns or a magic stick,

Returning home with bruises and prickles
dreaming of morrow's enlightening drizzles
waking up hastening our morning chores
just so we may take a look at all we had adore,

Then you forgot the land of our dreams
leaving off to join those subtle streams,
Remember where you are inside of you
because that person remembered our cherished fantasy view-

Way back when I was younger
I was mistaken as a dude
They asked all sorts of questions
That slowly grew more rude

"Why don't you wear makeup?
Or dress in something nice?"
"If you ever want to get a guy
Why won't you just take our advice?"

When I began in high school
I had just begun to change
I had bought myself some cheap makeup
And clothes that just felt strange

Still, it wasn't enough though
The insults continued to come
"Ugly. Lazy. Undesirable"
It all began to make me glum

By the beginning of junior year
I had fully given in
Dresses replaced all of my jeans
And makeup covered all my skin

It was then, the insults changed
And people began to glare
Said I "cared too much about my looks"
And my "head must be full of air"

I still always got straight A's
The way I talked was still the same
But though I knew that they were wrong
Their comments made me feel lame

When senior year had rolled around
I was lonely as could be
People "liked" what I'd become
But I felt no one liked me for me

I'd never been on a single date
Because all the guys were crude
So it was only a small amount of time
Before I was labeled as a "*****"

When I finally started college
I expected something more
But people took one look at me
And labeled me a *****

I had not been sleeping around
I still hadn't even been on a date
Everyone just made assumptions
And looked at me with hate

The part that was most ironic
Was that after all these years
Of changing to be whatever they said
I was still hated by all my peers

I didn't want to dress like this
I didn't want to just conform
But there is only so much a person can take
Before they need to fit the "norm"

Society is what destroyed me
They are the reason I am this way
I changed to be what people wanted
Now I understand: I'll never see that day

I don't know who I am now
Though everyone else thinks that they do
Now please just take one piece of advice
It's so important to just stay you

You are perfect just as you are
So continue to stay strong
Remember no matter what they tell you
What society says is **wrong

Time does not wait for you, it moves on constantly and it manifests what was the past but remains ambiguous throughout our comprehension.
So why waste time thinking about it?. I'd rather sit down and listen to politicians quibble.
