To blackened hearts, I grant you paint.
Let sunshine rain,
may words flow unbound.
One of the best things I have read, the whole rather rebellious poem is a real winner, you should be a speech writer, well done :)

I like this poem quite a bit, to fight for your right to be different to be someone not like the others is not a goal most have or if they do are not willing to fight for it. I enjoy that this poem can be completely relatable to almost any who reads it.

Thank you for your kind words. glad you liked it.
You would make a great motivational speaker...hard not to be inspired by your words here...I don't think I'm a conformist but I've never gotten much acceptance for 'being myself' and so I'm constantly fighting off conformity's seduction...I really liked 'To blackened hearts, I grant you paint'...so many layers in that line beyond the central message...a most vibrant piece, nicely done :)

I too catch myself trying to fit in because i get so tired of being disrespected for who i am. we all are guilty of a wee bit of "conformity"
