ABERRATION

Argue for purpose. Fight for whats right.

 

 

Listen...
I am an aberration; it is just what I will always be
I am different, I am separate; Yet, I am always defiantly me
I will never truly conform to what you just accept to be right
This peculiarity in me will always make us fight

 

It's not that I like to argue but divergence is my quirk
It is a fact that makes you angry; and gives me my little smirk!
Some people are just like me, we are not only here to just agree
We live to warp the world's vision of what you accept just must be
This departure from the norm is truly a blessing for the mind
Moving out of normalcy expands the limits you've set over time

 

I will not apologize for my aberration; it’s my creed and soul laid bare
Smacking down your antiquated structures will only lead to their repair
Then as you are rebuilding you will finally start to see
That your former structures were prisons and my aberration set you free

Great piece, Eddie. I really enjoyed reading this, especially the ending:
"Then as you are rebuilding you will finally start to see
That your former structures were prisons and my aberration set you free"

This is one of those poems I'm going to come back to again and again.
Good job!

"Born to be different" I truly love the meaning behind your poem. I also love that your words are so true and genuine. So wonderfully done :)

I will never truly conform to what you just accept to be right ...

This has been my attitude since I was a kid - not a fan of conforming just to fit in. I love the ultimate message that your uniqueness serves to set others free - so true! Great write, Eddie!

Yes men are not always the best counselors, that's for sure, Eddie. Creation is change and change will never happen if everyone is complacent about the way things are. Excellent thoughts and poetry!

I really like this Eddie, you definitely always have something to say and I appreciate that about your poems. Fantastic Job.

Eddie this write is another poem of yours that I really like! Great message. One must be his or her own person to experience life to the fullest! There are far too many sheep that follow some unwritten code or way to do things. Too many people do what they think is wanted by others, instead of doing what's right for themselves!
