Oh, you don't think

I can string together

These words

That will make you feel better?

Do not try

To be someone you're not.

Otherwise,

You will end up being distraught.

Just know the banality

Of reality

Is not quality

Of life.

It's the loyalty,

And morality.

Not the penalty

For the anarchy

You've caused.

Now the only things you hear are the grunts of disapproval.

When you scream out these words

That can make you feel better.

Your voice is hoarse

From shouting and tearing that letter.

Now forget her.

She's not better than you or I.

You could be tripping,

Skipping,

Skinny dipping,

Or flipping

People off.

Or shouting profanities,

Breaking vanities,

Getting cavities

From the candy that you've bought.

So, why bother when the only thing you hear are the grunts of disapproval?

When you scream out these words

That can make you feel better.

Talk to that one stranger

You've been eyeing,

Thinking they're a danger

To your norm.

So, Why conform?

Are you going to perform?

And adorn

Everything they tell you to put on

When you could be flying,

Sighing,

Denying,

And fighting

For the life you always wanted.

You can drown out those grunts of disapproval.
