SHINE

Broken and beaten down. Opinions test my tired mind.
Your strength slows my pace. I've fallen prey to your ratrace.
Crumbling under the weight of what you think I start to bend and break. I must swim free from this sea of conformity so I can breath. I won't hide who I am just so you can be my friend. I'll let my true self shine.
Revealing what's inside for all to see. Crumbling under the weight of what you think I start to bend and break.
I must swim free from this sea of conformity so I can breath. We fight a never ending war against ourselves in search of something real. Forces beyond our control dictate they way we think and feel.
