“Stand out but blend in.”
“Be serious but keep smiling.”
“Be unique but not too off the wall.”
“Hurry up, to stall a little longer.”
“Keep breathing, but hold your breath.”
The clashing waves kept conflicting,
the mashing opinions continued tricking.
Change the degree,
and stay positive, for all to see.
Register for a course called Future,
as life wounds called for another suture.
They dressed for the day,
and shunned the complacent gray.
Standing, poised to be chosen,
but then they weren’t.
Tomorrow, they’d be back,
with less perfection lacking.
Stoic, with precision, they would stand again,
ready for the game master to tell them - when.
