Conformity is Sucking Me Dry

I live this life
Many have chosen
When I should have ignored.

This conformity is killing me
This dryness of my personality is simply so boring.

I live this life
Following those I "should"
When I should be breaking asunder.

So many things I can do
But with these people I cannot.

I live this life
A walking drone
Of society's choice.

Everything is black and white
Its no longer my life.

I live this life
Being something I'm not
When all I've done is change the person I am.

    This is a very sad poem ...

    although there's definitely some truth there.

    Thanks for entering.
