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.

I like this poem. Definitely presents a feeling of individuality. I'm sure there's much more in it that I haven't yet grasped, you have such thought in your words.
Write on!

This is a very interesting poem. I love how you can go through a thought and make it something bigger, or go into more depth with it. Great write.
