why do we punish ourselves
why do we hurt and amputate our needs
as your trained to follow and obey
you lose your distinctive features
that thing that makes you entirely different compared to the next person
something so valuable and intangible
something that makes your hair fall different
helplessly act for your brain
something that makes you ultimately different from the next person
the sound of your voice and direction of thought
your humor and witty attitude
your sarcasm and vulnerability to certain words
your fear of the dark or something weird like open windows
you're uniquely weird and entirely adequate
you have the potential to be among near perfection
yet we collapse to the stranglehold of society's expectations
now I hate motivational diction or corny poetic reliefs
but,
if you want to listen to music really loud do it
if you want to drive for no apparent reason, do it
if you want to fall in love way to early, do it
if you want to escape that some love that happened to early
well you know what I'm getting at
this will help ease your mind
you will originate your perception to your irreplaceable person
instead of becoming the identical to your neighbor
be you, be real, don't be shy to the unwritten code of society
enforce yourself to experience happiness on the most maximum scale
experience that euphoric high every day
if you want to get drunk off the sound of Vance Joys voice, be my guest
No one controls you
You are you
and the worst thing you can do
is shut down a persons distinction
because they are not you
because they do not agree with you
just because they don't where the same clothes as you, does not make them an invaluable member of society
to be distinct makes our world diverse
and currently the only diversification about us is the the human life form
we are born universally unique
we are, to our knowledge, living on the only planet which can sustain life
so why the **** would you want to be like anyone else
be kind, be lovingly foul, be intellectually indestructible
don't forget your value
flaunt it like that stuck up female who thinks she deserves the perfect man cause she's beautiful
or that ***** of a man who happens to have blue eyes and gets whatever he wants
go to sleep happy with your power
abide by your own rules without enforcing pity on others
respect your brothers and sisters
for being uniquely valuable
because they're thinking something you're not capable of
as you have the exact same talent
be different
dont collapse to the demands of a society which obliged itself to follow
lead your own way
