Break Out

Submitted by drummergirl on October 4, 2008 - 19:16.

so caught up in society,
acting the girl that you want to be
hiding your true personality
with a flimsy shield of conformity
dress, talk, and think like other girls
your shallowness makes me want to hurl
why not just live YOUR life,
without others' opinions pressing like a knife
be quirky, go nuts
being yourself takes guts
show me what you can do,
without your clique,
who are you?
