This middle-age mediocrity
Does everything to stifle me
Pressure of conformity
Smothers the enormity
Of my hatred for the ‘norm’.
The crushing of dreams
And the freedom to suppress
Should be made illegal
This mental torture
Had an infinite times over
Killed more than any gun
Soul destroyer
Devil employer
The crushing of a dream
Time killer
Blood spiller
The breaking of a heart
Learn by your mistakes?
Or be pilloried for them by those
Who say they love you.
