Conformity is a funny word;
It's never used for positivity.
It's always seen
As a cruel necessity.
"How you should speak",
Or "What you should be".
Why can't the truth of conformity
Simply be
That we should all strive hard
To be the best we could be?
Why must we mold ourselves
To someone else's standards
Instead of expressing ourselves
By our own answers?
Why should we believe the world
Instead of thinking our own thoughts?
Why can't we let our convictions be unfurled,
Over the battlefield of opinions we fought?
Why must conformity
Always be
The thought that brings
Calamity?
Why is conformity
Never seen to be
The harbinger
Of God's unity?
Why isn't conformity
The action of simply
Thinking for ourselves
And respecting those
Who just want to be?
Why can't conformity be
Respect for what
It means to be
Me?
