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.

Great! 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.

Your title drew my attention Anastasia, probably because I don't want to be common. And I liked your poem. Nice work.

Thank you!
Nice thing you don't want to be common. Neither do I. Being uncommon is the only way to live freely outside of the widespread templates and choose what is right for you.
