Views against society

Forced to hold back who we are

We stay invisible like a black star

Tired of changing to fit in

Wondering what could have been

if you let out the truth

that you hold within

If I was homosexual what would I do?

I am being held captive in this zoo

Is this society or a cage?

Holding yourself with anger and rage,

To suppress this secret,

hoping this is just a stage.

What if I don’t come off as smart?

Maybe i’m the one you should take to heart.

Stupidity is a matter of deeds.

The more you do the more you achieve,

and the more intelligent you become

to those who plead.

What if I don’t look like others?

Why must I be the one to suffer?

Maybe i'm obese, maybe i'm skinny.

That must be a reason to judge me.

Maybe I made myself this way,

maybe this is how I was meant to be.

What if I am the person who cries themselves to sleep?

Stowing away every painful night with a weep.

Being strong and trying to win this war,

you didn’t realize that my last chance was walking out the door.

Bang! I am gone now, but you did not see,

that my outcome, yet so young, ended on my bedroom floor.

You are the thorns on a bush of roses,

I am the rose which the thorn opposes.

You poke me and judge me until I snap.

You bring my petals down with a discomforting clap,

but wait until my last petal falls.

Let’s see who has the last laugh.

I'm still in high school so sorry if it sucks.
