You Were You
At a glance,
Delicate, fragile.
But in your stance,
Strong, virile.
Against society you fight
But in reality you battle a reflection,
A battle futile, trite.
Yet you stand strong, with direction
The direction to clash;
The direction to yearn;
The direction to spurn;
The direction to hate.
In your quest to be unique
You abandoned hope for a crown.
Most turn the other cheek,
But in their hearts, pity is found.
In your rebellion
You break, burn
Steal, destroy
But in your heart,
You cry
You strive to be different,
But, lo, all along,
You were different.
You were you, where you belong.
