Fitting in

The world is so materialistic. It unfortunately does this to many people. It's not fair. Yet, it happens.

Falling, Falling

Deep into a pit

A pit of sorrow and grief

That we won't admit

We stray from the light 

To hide in the dark

Away from the pain 

That resides in our hearts

We follow the cool kids

And leave ourselves behind

To fit in "the crowd"

Just so we don't have to dry our eyes

We throw our smiles, and laughs, style, and morals down the drain

Just to fit in

Just to feel normal

Just to get a small taste of happiness

Regardless if it is fake

All the while we hurt the ones who truly love us

For us

Not for our fake clothes

Covered faces

That hide our true beauty

But, for our weird laughs and crooked smiles, and true talents that are actually worth the while

Yet we can't see that from behind the tears that we cry

So we fall...

Farther

Farther

Farther, into the pit of "fitting in"

Wow! I really, really like this poem. I am really against society and the way people want to fit it with it and sacrifice the unique role that have in this world. If we all seek to be approved by others then we will never be able to bring that uniqueness out of ourselves and other will not be blessed by it. I wish more people would not be afraid to be different but would take a stand be who they were created to be, themselves. I strive to bring out in others their best and their uniqueness, so thanks for writing!

I must show this to many people. After all, I know quite a few who want to "fit in"

I'm glad you would show this to others. I hope to spread my words among as many as I can.:)
