Be Independent

Be Independent

A Poem by C Peril
"

A short poem about individuality, creativity and the need to stand out.

"
Strike your own spark
and set this world on fire
You can be unique
and the need, it's dire

There's not enough room
for another carbon copy,
with generic likes
and worn out hobbies 

Make yourself 
from a different mold 
Go read books,
learn to be bold 

A simple question
is to be asked
Do you want to die
like them
or ensure you last...


In the museums
of our collective mind?
Finding fame
through contributions
so sublime 

If the latter is
what you want,
then get straight to it,
don't prolong

Your poem is a call-to-action for people who have yet to follow their dreams. The world is built on innovation. Things are constantly changing and we have more ability now than ever to impact the whole world. Hopefully people are motivated by your message.

Great piece on the need for independent thinkers!
