A Stranglehold On The Task At Hand

Quit leaving a trail

Of your duplicity

Trivially having everyone mimicking

A weakened concept of discontent

It's hard to hide the intent

Where deeds have gone wrong

Behind the sideshow's curtain

Of an uncertain plan

For having many heads

Following the same conforming path

Repeating mindless cliche's

Like it's a acceptable sedative

Towards the overall relevance

Of happiness in times of disbelief

It has to cease in order to begin

A stranglehold on the task at hand

Perfect title for starters...this one has the potential to speak to readers in any number of ways, with questions and sentiments that are applicable to various stages of self-discovery....thoughtful and thought-provoking :)

For some reason I don't usually believe I perceive your meanings as I should. So for this, I have plucked out a phrase:
"Behind the sideshow's curtain"
Herein lies the freaks. Dynamic and a real show. They sell tickets and put asses in the seats. Though they never can truly conform. They are different. How the crowd both hates and loves them. Should they falter, they are struck down in righteous crowdly anger. Only to be mourned later when they realize that they are unable themselves to fill the spot.

Meh. Enough Rogue thoughts..

Conforming not conforming these are semantics. Just be the best person you can be. A******s are miserable people as a general rule. :)
