Defiance

[Looks won't tell who's living inside]

they laugh at me
for what they see

staring at the skirt
blind to all my hurt

i try to open their eyes
and make them realize

it's cloth:
no power
to change
my soul--
just like
the pants
she wears

but they just stare at me
made blind by what they see

comfortable in cells
given by Conformity


A parallel thought on Goth culture: most people are sheep, but sometimes they fall into the jaws of a different society.
