I'll stay uncommon
You asked me why I can’t be normal
Be ordinary just like you and them.
I ask you why you can’t be more informal
And tell me all about widespread spam.
It is about being plain and pleasing:
Keep studying, work, get hired and marry.
Deify your parents, children, power
Be diligent, opinionated, wary.
Like any ordinary human
Be the disciple of tradition.
Become yourself only assuming
You will fulfill generic mission.
I look at you and cannot get
If you are kidding me right now
Or trying hard to cover me with net
Of rubbish Earth produced somehow.
Where did you find this false knowledge?
Why do you think I’ll comprehend?
Why should I have my dreams demolished
Just to appease this churlish land?
I thank you for the information
You’ve given me with no success
To persuade me follow your dictation.
I’ll stay uncommon, nonetheless.

Fri, June 5th, 2020 8:39amGreat! Defy convention, I say. Most 'normal' people are unhappy with their lives. It's 10pm and I'm listening to J.S. Bach on the radio. Well, I am a radical eccentric. Nice work.
Cheers,
Craig.
I so enjoyed this - stay uncommon, it's so much more fun!

Thu, June 11th, 2020 4:06pmYour title drew my attention Anastasia, probably because I don't want to be common. And I liked your poem. Nice work.
