I'm not graceful like a swan
But I do have a voice like a lion
I have the peace and tranquility of blue
But not the anger or envy of green
The music from the record player is loud
But my mind is telling me to quiet down
The back and forth I go through is for my own sanity
But yet it breaks me down at the same time
There are exotic and chaotic patterns on my clothes
But I feel the need to be gray and blend in
Why must I feel the need to dull myself down in order to feel good?
The societal norms that seem beautiful tend to be the ones that break us the most
They make me feel cold and empty, yet I comply to them
And yet I comply to society
I am outgoing and vibrant, yet I hide my beauty beneath black and white stripes
My neon personality should never be kept behind bars,
so why do I let it?
