Disappointment

March 6, 2018

Your quirk
Makes you a special snowflake
That curl in your hair
Makes you a special snowflake
That makeup that you wear
makes you a special snowflake
That outfit that you chose
Makes you a special snowflake

And as the raven crows
Everyday you are told that you are special
unique and undefined
Everyday you are told to be you
And To use your mind

Only to find
That you are not special
And you are not unique
You are but another pawn
In Big businesses gigantic lawn

And as it may dawn
You will find yourself
Being called a special snowflake

you may look inside the reflection
Of the lake
Thinking what if I take?
But you dismiss that thought.
Because what you got
Was not the shortest end of the stick

At the last candle flick
And the last clocks tick,
You feel, that your mind

Has ran off to that thought,
Of you looking in that mirror
And you find
You’re Getting nearer
To that blade

Oo what a swade
that blade has on you
Makes you think
What if you do?




No.

“One more day.
And you’ll be closer.”
You say
“I have to be strong,”
And well, you’re not wrong.

But as I’ve said before
And I’ll say again.
Because you’re different
You’re a special snowflake.

Your uniqueness never prepared you
For what you’re going through
And just being you,
Doesn’t work too

So in a life that is so bland
So what
If there’s blood in my hand

Whatever you’ve thrown my way
I have beat until this very day

It was never worth it to wait
On my expiration date.

Well people I call my friends
It seems our time together shall end
And as I go, please remember.
You,

Aren’t





A


Special








Snowflake


You see what everyone else does
And you do it too
Hoping to fit in
And I hope you do

You seem to be perfect and normal.
Now I wish I’d’ve listened to you
Maybe I wouldn’t be so formal
As I’m writing this note

You seem to fit in
Like a puzzle piece,
Next to the thousands of other pieces
All looking like the police

On patrol
For control
Over everyone else
You may reign as Royalty
With no shackles of Loyalty

Someone’s weakness is showing!
Time to exploit them for a gag
While you’re constantly rowing
In your own flooded mind

You try to grip on to reality but
Your emotions just keep flowing
With the endless amount of pressure on you
You start to crack
One more straw and you’ve broken your back

Out the emotions flow
Now it’s your turn to be made fun
You’ll be poked and prodded
For how you feel

You’ll get hit and kicked
To test if you’re made of steel
It’s time to grow up.
It’s not worth it, to feel.

And as this happens to you
I hope you know
What you’ve done to me
As I fall down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down into this eternal pit of hell
Just remember me well
And only talk of me to tell
Your family, how I fell
Down
Down
down
down
down into this internal pit of hell

Just know my disappointment
As for I know what life truly means
But for your years of torment
I’m now as dead a dormat

I was inspired late one night as I was thinking about people being called a special snowflake for the way they truly are.
