The Stand

We live in a cruel world
A harsh reality
A society that does not comprehend
Where sorrow lurks around every corner
Normal is a stereotype, difference mocked and abused
Change is feared, yet society is forever moving onwards
The small mindedare rulers
And people who see through the doors of perception are oppressed
Youth and excitement are evil
Boredom and routine is life
But I will break free of my chains
Looking back with an air of satisfaction
Dancing in the fires that burn
Throwing off challenge with a shrug
