Why must you torment me,
Day in and day out?
Is my life not hard enough
That you must bring me more pain?

I'm not you... I'm NOTHING like you...
I don't want to be YOU...
So stop expecting me to be you!
I AM ME;
Accept me or hate me...

Maybe I could be happy...

Leave me alone...

...that's a start...

More of a creative rambling, I wrote this poem after dealing with a typical conformist, who had expectations that everyone should be like them. I feel normalcy is overrated, by far...especially after taking a good, hard look at the so-called "normal" people that expect me to model myself after them. No thank you ~ I'll stick to being a freak and never crossing over.
