Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Society.

I'm not as fine as I seem, 

how could I be? 

Trapped within a dream

although this world is pre made. 

Confined to what we're told is real, 

taught to swallow anything we feel 

while aimlessly walking a path already laid. 

Examined constantly with pointless tests. 

Dismal tests in a dismal world with no rest. 

Verified by written results and scores, 

you begin to forget what's truly yours. 

Mindless zombies walking with a hunch 

spitting things like "you only live once". 

I find myself caught in this gust of wind, 

being blown back and forth. 

Mindless, 

and spineless. 

They'll lie and say it's all a progress. 

But it's the end of today,

end of your ways. 

No longer am I what you want me to be. 

18 years it took me to finally see. 

I hear a voice coming from within my head, 

so I'll follow my mind instead.

My mind. ►
