Influence

A Poem by Overwhelming Confabulation
"

Just a poem about how I'm finding myself and the battles I've faced getting to who I am now.

"
My eyes
Forever wide
And exposed
To the bright lights
Blinding my third eye's sight
Adjusting me slightly
Slanting my gaze
My mind portrays
Color schemes gray
Though somewhere deep
My Hearts screams "NAY!"
"No"
"Stay clever"
When I write from the Heart
Words come together
And sometimes I've wished
I never was.
Were...
Ever. . .
Am I something I'm not
Swaying to the motions of influence
Believing I'm above all
Staying cool and different
But really that's just ignorant
Blind minds can see
Our true selves as infants
Our paths ahead with possibilities as infinite
Your understanding of class, race and position
Pushes you to fit in it
So I stepped out
Took a look around
And said
F**k that s**t!
I create my reality
You telling me how to breathe?!
Please, that's absolute blasphemy
Society's grip can never push or pull on me
