I once walked on a road that was crowded
Everyone was going to the same place
They all wanted the same things
All thought the same way
More and more people would everyday
The more that joined, the more I felt uneasy
I couldn’t breathe, as they sucked the air out of life
Soon I realized we all looked alike, dressed alike and agreed on everything
Not because we believed those idea, but rather to fit in
One day I stopped and turned around and faced the crowd
The stares and looks I got
I could hear people mumble and talk about me
They wanted me off the road because I was not the same
I pushed my way through, bumping people in my path
I didn’t care to be like them or even dream like them
I couldn’t do this anymore, not even for one more day
I stepped off the road and walked in my own direction
I was done being liked, and trying to fit in
Today I stood out and stepped out on my own
No longer caring about being alone
It’s better to be alone, than in bad company
