Faceless Cog

Driven by demons
That will be exorcised
Faith in the man above
All this sturm and drang
Born of an ego infested spirit
In hopes you can submit
Crumble and kneel down
At that altar
Yet having the opposite effect
As you don’t project fear
Just mere stubbornness
As you refuse to let others determine
How you feel, what you believe
Their words carefully cultivated
With malice up their sleeves.

What’s wrong with trying to find your own path?
Why be subjected to criticism?
Haughtiness?
Laughter?
Snickering?
For being true to yourself?
I’m motivated to carry on
Even if that means I’m a lone wolf in the universe
Surely, I could one of the sheep
To appease social harmony
But I would be deceiving myself and you.

Call me childlike
Deem me foolish
I’ve seen the error of my ways
And the trick is to not let others
Knock you off the journey
Yet it sickens me that
Being ostracized is the consequence
For refusing to be a faceless cog
Of the damn machine.

P-2/8/19.
