Fuck the Status Quo

Sometimes I look deep inside  
and find a yearning for ideals  
most wouldn't understand
 
in my darkest moments  
when dire  
isolation  
seems to weigh down  
my heart
 
it doesn't take too long  
before I remember
why  
I have become
so very proud  
to be a misfit
 
they don't happen very often
 
but when I discover those kindred spirits  
who understand what it means  
to constantly thrive for more
 
who truly appreciate  
the triumphs  
and trials  
of this turbulent life
 
I find another piece of the map  
guiding  
my soul home
 
we are the freaks  
the weirdos the black sheep  
the oddballs  
the passionate lovers of all things atypical
 
and we are helping each other to be  
courageously unique  
in a world trying its best
to turn us into  
cardboard copies  
of 'normal'  
 
well you know what they say...
actually  
they don't say it-
we do  
Fuck the status quo
