Conform Conform

Conform Conform

A Poem by Barbara Walker

Society

drowns

their fire,

to a dying

ember.

Conform,

they say,

when each soul

longs,

to just

be.

Conform,

dying ember,

to years

and years

of a slow

death

and a lifetime

of unshed

tears.

in a world where conform has become the norm.
the more we do the more we lose the inner peace that dwells inside,
build up afflictions are just bottled up emotions,
being shook up while in search of passion,
conform why when all we need is affection.peace wizthom
