Blend in and go with the flow

Blend in and go with the flow

A Poem by Anata
"

When your secret becomes your life

"

Sitting in your bed

In the middle of the night

Wondering where it went wrong

Imagining how it could have been

 

Your mind tricks you

Making the bad look worse

And the unknown better

The grass appears greener on the other side

 

Going over various outcomes

One even better than the other

You don’t stop to take in count

Controlling your mind is out of reach

 

Born in a world where better is good

Distinction is needed to be

Without it you’re just another leaf on the tree

You need to differ in order to stand out

 

Where no guidelines are given

And no goals are set

It is easy to loose your way

To stand out no matter what

 

Except you are not allowed to

You need to watch your steps

Whether you want to or not

You have to calculate your every move

 

Where one wants to stand out

You have to blend in

Go with the flow, as if nothing is wrong

Pretending your life is normal

 

Because if anyone knew how special you are

You would be judged

Separated and disposed

For the one thing that makes you

 

You are infected

Yet not contagious

But fear spreads like a fire

And people judge by the heat

 

You have to blend in

Go with the flow

Sitting on your bed

With a baggage, you have to carry your own.
