Individuality – Written October 2001 (Aged 26)

Individuality

there is a crowd of people
do you follow,
do you go
do you be so hollow
or do you let your individuality show
self confidence,
is a false power
self confidence
is the strangest flower
it may run on batteries
but you should stick to solar power
if self confidence
was hydro electric
then tears should be the source
of what makes us feel so pathetic
water,
that drives the emotions
there is a crowd of people
and there so many personal decisions
so many to make




James Garratt – October 2001
