Be yourself
Be unique
Is what we're told
Before we grow old
But we must also
Be someone else
Be normal
Fit in with the others
Don't stand out
Make the right choices
Don't take the wrong path
Uniformity
Not Authenticity
Go stand in line
Like a thoughtless sheep
There is no room
For imagination
For real dreams
Aren't cheap
Like the cotton on your back
Take pride in yourself
But never too much
Go far
But don't stray
From the traditional way
Stay true
Don't lie
Yet we do every day
Fake a smile
Fake a laugh
Pretend all is okay
What would we do
If we weren't told
How to live our lives
How to grow old

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
