Not realizing we hold the matches
That sparked the flames of our own demise
We burn our lives down and dance on the ashes
And blame others when we realize
We incinerate that which makes us unique
Just to blend in with the masses
We're attracted to their distorted mystique
and trapped by their faulty impasses
But we're designed to stand out, not to fit in
Don't set fire to the poem in your heart
Let it take wing and ride on the wind
And celebrate what sets you apart
So break your heart out of conformity's herse
Join the powerful play and contribute your Verse.
