We had alot of friends,
Most of them pretty,
And smart,
Outgoing,
But I,
An introvert,
Who would prefer alone-time,
And a company of countable,
Instead of a group,
A group is a cult,
Thats what i believed,
Everyone wants to belong to a group,
But I don't ,
I Want to belong to ME,
To have my freedom to myself,
My thoughts,
And actions,
My opinions unbiased,
My statements unfiltered,
I would see being loud and bursting with energy wins over alot of people,
And yet I didnt want to be won over,
I belonged to me,
That is true freedom,
To not care to be liked,
To not care to be anybodys favorite,
To not be bound to anyones tutorship or mentoring,
To not be bound to expectations,
Truly living for myself,
My happiness,
But beyond all,
My truth,
Being outgoing to me,
Is a mask,
A mask of smartness,
To be liked by people,
To befriend successful or cunning crowd,
I dont entertain,
I dont put-out,
I dont act,
I dont sell me as a product,
I am off limits!
I belong to myself,
No groups,
No cults,
No favorites,
Most of my friends,
Would see showing themselves as expensive people,
Would make an impression,
I would prefer books and coffee over pubs and shows,
I would prefer gentleness over recklessness,
I would prefer being with one partner rather than being with many,
For me happiness means,
Doing the things I really want to do,
Rather than showing off,
I prefer cars over bikes,
I prefer winter over summer,
I prefer home cooked meals over restaurant food,
I prefer one man rather than many,
I prefer my freedom over a group,
I prefer silence over meaningless noises,
I prefer to remain stupid if that means I wont be bothered!
I dont like marks,
Or ranks,
Or feedbacks,
I hated report cards,
And the teachers who reeked of partiality,
I hated professors who liked students who licked their foot,
I hated men who prefered woman who would say YES for anything,
I hated how people would sugar coat words and point out our negatives or weaknesses,
I hate that we have to try harder,
Well life is short,
Why do we try hard to remain civil and liked by others?
Why run behind awards,
And achivements that means nothing,
When you truly know what you want to do something more passionate than this,
Why cant you go slow,
Take the longer road,
Miss turns,
Find out,
Than take shortcuts,
Why do we give our freedom in the hands of others,
Why please people?
When you can focus on satisfying yourself!
I ain't like 'em,
And when I say that to my parents,
They say thats not gonna help you.
Well, yeah I can see so much,
But yeah, I ain't like 'em.
