Conformity Erin D. Traynum
I can speak of no one but me
cause i'm all i really know
so
i wish souls wouldn't try to steal mine
(you know they're blind to the beauty of us all)
feelings flow through my veins-
oxygenated with spirit-
entering my heart-
traveling through arteries-
speaking the truth that i know
you differ
we differ-
nobody is the same
so don't try to apply your thoughts on me-
make me be you-
cause i'm not
will never
and don't know how to be-
only you do.
so make a Project of yourself-
leave me to me-
see your eyes,
hear their beauty
and leave mine alone.
it has its own audience-
one that appreciates its glow-
knows my souls circulatory path-
one that acknowledges me AND you.
