Conformity

42 3 2
                                    

Be quiet
Stay in line now

Inconsolable
Untamable
Imperfect
Unusual

Stay out of trouble, now
Be good

Define "normal"
Force me through your
Finite mold
See if I change

This one's odd!
Grab your knife

You can't "tell" me,
I am "free"
Do not try to
Define me

Stab their ambitions
Murder their intuitions

Fight me
Kill me
You'll never
Break me

Slaughter their wishes, hurry-
It's their turn for the dishes!

Push me
Pull me
I'll never
Fit in

Hide them!
Forget them!

You can only try
To force me to be
A gear, a cog
In your stupid society!

No! Slash their desires
Or we'll have to throw them in the fires!

I won't assimilate
You still discriminate
Based on all that is me
All this world does is hate!

Lock them away
Until they obey!

I hate me but
Not because of you
But because of me
So much for eternity

You think you can be different
Don't try to fight it

When will these rules
Or my life
Cease to exist
Will we ever find an end?

Every last bit of your soul
Will be destroyed

I wish someone could see
Someone understand
Getting real close to up and
Leaving the land

That's just how it is here,
It's Kingdom Come, it's illegal to leave
