Why Must We

Stray from the conservative ways the elders preach

You say you need your own way

A change of scenery

A new start

Why must you bogart the pursuit of my happiness

It's the road less traveled but littered with integrity

Attire is jagged and rough

Your too young too know this much

So your motto is better soon than later

More lies than teeth of an alligator

Than quills of a porquipine, or sun rays of summer time

Good times also have blurred explicits

I think back of the times I never listened

Sends shivers down my spine

How I react, content and always will be

Why must I chase your dreams?

What happened to I am who I am

I refuse to be apart of the natural selection of the Darwins

I'll make my own selection that makes me feel natural

Sometime better to walk alone then to be with the cattle in line for the slaughterhouse. I like your examples and the I really liked the ending. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Beautiful! This is very deep and inspiring. It is better to go live with your own choices than to follow the group sometimes. you should do what makes you happy than be full of regrets and the what ifs. And it's better to be unique and be yourself than to make yourself like someone else. This is amazing.. Wonderful write!

It's hard to be an individual these days when even individuality on some level seems social constructed in society. Yet it is better than being controlled and made into a copy. Yet on our journey we have to take into account the old words whispered to us just to make sure we have a little knowledge before running off blind because there is some wisdom in their words. Society demand we conform so they can control us,manage us. it cannot handle those who def it....excellent write.
