In The World

In The World

A Poem by ClarissaMSantillana777

In the world there are continents

In those continents there are countries

In those countries there are states

And in those states there are people.

In those people there are minds

In those minds there are thoughts

In those thoughts there are ideas

And in those ideas there is heart and soul.


The world is filled with billions of people with many different ideas

Yet society says that we have to conform to each others ideas

That being different is a bad thing

An abomination to society and its rules

Something that is so unbelievably wrong and unthinkable


Who is in charge of society

Who made them in charge

Why do we follow their rules

Why do we follow their ideas, their thoughts, their restrictions, their lies and their beliefs

Why is it that following them when public pressure increases, is the most logical thing to do

When WE are individually unique

What is wrong with our society


Don’t we have the right to follow our beliefs

Our passions, our ideas, our thoughts

Why are we scared to be different

Why don’t we stand up for our beliefs


Did we forget those martyrs that died for their beliefs

Those who fought for their right to tell the world what they believe in

Their right to voice out their opinions


Have we lost that right?

Because that individual voice against society is getting smaller and smaller


Have YOU heard the voice?

The voice against society?

The one that urges you to NOT conform to society


If YOU haven’t

Are YOU the one that conforms?

Ask yourself why you conformed

Don’t you believe in your own ideas

Don’t you want to share what they are

Because only you can voice those ideas out


Be the one to stand up against the rules

The restrictions, the lies, the conformity of society

AND BELIEVE

Believe in yourself

Believe in your abilities

Be the voice you’ve always wanted to be


Because if we let that voice die

If we let that voice, that represents us fade away in the sea we call society

We lose ourselves

We lose what it means to be human

Because we just let others control us
