Conform

By Anoblechicken

what are you doing??
where are you going?
there always there
always controlling

Never give me sanity
Worrying about my vanity

be pretty
be stupid
be plastic
and fake
I don't know how much more i can take

they've has got me by the magazine subsription
pushing.
seeing what i am willing give them

My life
my voice
my body
they ripped from my soul
never will be whole

So what now
why complain
i can't be ashamed
because that's everyone
you and me and the guy down the street
i guess this is just mankinds defeat

    Hey, cool. This has a stream-of-counsciousness feel to it, but with a well thought-out flow. The only part I think doesn't quite fit is the last line... other than that, awesome. Don't let them take your soul... and kick them in the nuts when they try!

    I hear this... Every day of high school was a constant nervousness resulting from what others would think of me because i refused to conform, its wrong...
