People,
Scared to stray from the flock
Scared to be Individual
It's better to blend in
Stand in the shadows
Follow the unwritten social rules
Don't speak up
Just look down
Hide your dreams in shaky palms
Ostracize the ones who like a stray puzzle piece don't fit in,
Who can't be defined
Put your blinders on
And follow the narrow minded path
Never question your copied views
Or consider what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes
Me, a lone wolf
Standing on the mountaintop
Marvels at the herd below
They gallop in their ignorance,
High on it's bliss
Until I jump down from the mountaintop
And awake them from their foolishness.
