Clay Minds

Thoughts about the idea of being "normal"

Society is a craftsman

Molding our minds, changing the shape of our opinions

You liked that sweater, until society shunned it

You always wore those shoes, till somebody scorned it.

Our thoughts are subjective to society

We are molded into the trend

If you wear those shoes you are not normal

If you think otherwise you are not normal

If your opinion differs you are not normal.

We do things to be labeled as normal

Our minds are clay, bent and molded by society

We don't want to be seen as "different"

We all just want to be normal.

The abnormal, the intractable clay

Seen as useless by society.

But in reality,

They are the only ones who are truly free.

fantastic poem, just had an argument with myself after reading it.

I felt an emotional connection with this poem. A wonderful representation of the limitations and ideals we are bound by. Great read
