Misfit


You need to stop
Thinking
You need to stop
Breathing
You need to stop looking the way you look
You need to stop talking the way you talk
You need to stop being you
It is too much
It is too different from everyone else
And no one likes a misfit
You need to stop being who you are
You need to stop walking the way you walk
You need to stop
Smiling
Laughing
Unless it’s on command
Because no man will ever love a misfit
You need to stop fighting for what you care for
You need to stop having a choice
You need to stop loving your family
Because they won’t matter to you in a couple years
Because no family can ever accept a misfit
You need to stop liking the people you like
You need to stop deciding on your sexuality
(Because you will only ever be one)
You need to stop being unique
So everyone will always be the same
And there will never be change
Because money won’t go to a misfit
You need to stop wearing the cloths you wear
You need to stop having certain friends
You need to stop getting distracted in school
So you can learn and grow properly
Like a real women should be
Because a job can’t go to a misfit
You need to stop getting up so late
You need to stop going to sleep so early
You need to stop dreaming
Because girls aren’t creative
They aren’t brains
And misfits don’t dream

  • How can I write


    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    Our world is on repeat
    until everything is better

    Our lives are going to be the same
    until everything is better

    The same frequency over and over again
    lulling us to sleep.

    Endless nightshifts and worries
