a tale of black sheep
You tear us apart,
so we come together.
You say not enough,
and we ask how much.
You lie to us,
so we distrust ourselves.
You claim we are nothing new,
and we search for flaws.
You say you are nice,
so we turn the other way.
You pile more on,
and we stumble under stress.
You force failure upon us,
so we accept the guilt.
I do not accept this.
I will not stand for You any longer.
Your actions are unacceptable.
Your actions are immoral.
I will summon change.
I am going to destroy the status quo.
Your world will change.
And I will be there to watch you Fall.
I have lived as the black sheep.
I have conformed, and I have said “Yes, Sir.”
You point at me and say “Privileged,”
You play the victim and blame me because I am different.
I will not stand for “Entitlement,”
I have made the climb to where I am, but will not also make it for You.
You are afraid of Me,
so you put me in the box.
I now falter under the weight,
I struggle under the stress that controls me.
If Balance is broken,
then the Chaos will reveal itself.
I am not Chaos,
I am Change.
I am not a black sheep,
I Am.
