Breaking the Mold

by HOLLY ARMER   May 4, 2005


You tempt me, luring
to the places I can't see.
I capture your essence, craving
what will never be.

You teach me, eagerly
thing's I'll never know.
Starving for simplicity
as my insecurities grow.

Confusion's my only companion
as you leave me in disarray.
I'll never understand
the complexity you display.

I find the strength, refusing
your temptation and these lies.
I can't let you mold me
into what I despise!

    Ver interesting. I find it hard sometimes as well to be my own person and not what other people want me to be. I must say though, i'm happier with the former.
