standing in line, waiting to see something new

 

Originality is so surrendered
Modern age is starving for it,
That’s why I’m a rarity.

I’m not your TV Oprah or your Joel Osteen,
I don’t tell you want you want to hear
I don’t bring it PG-13

Sometimes, It may seem like I hate your guts.
When, truth be told, I’m just speaking honestly
Raw and uncut

Make no mistake
I am not vulgar, I am not society’s next conforming body
Quite the opposite indeed

I am but a rogue to their trend they’ve set
And I keep it squeaky clean.

I’ll speak with words to help you,
Not just to falsify a dream

If it’s dead, I’ll tell you.

Prompt:

[25]Don’t even sit there, and call me “fake.” I express myself, I say exactly what im thinking, I’m not afraid to hurt peoples feelings, and I don’t apologize for saying what I feel. And if I’m not mistaken, that is what most people would call, being "Real"

    good job. I like the topic and yes, sometimes new things are hard for people to do. They get "set" in their ways. Trying something new is very hard for others sometimes.
