Thought it was unconditional?

Am I that much of a disgrace?

I know I'm not cool or even full of grace,

I can't dance or sing,

But the beauty in my words I do try to bring,

I thought you loved me,

Then why aren't you proud?

What possesses you?

Why do you write so strange?

Can you see the light of day?

When your nose is stuck in that book?

Your so pretty, why do you dress like that?

Why don't you like me? I thought you loved me?

Unconditional.

That's the role your supposed to play.

Instead of looking at me in that way,

I'm so proud that's all I want you too say!

You'd rather I model, sing or act,

But I'd rather read and know all the facts,

Shakespeare said the worlds a stage,

But you wouldn't know that in society's cage,

He also said every man has to play a part,

And I've chosen mine, do you know nothing of my heart?

I don't want to act or to participate,

I'd rather write poems and with my words create,

And protect my society, represent the state,

I might not be great with a conforming sense of fashion,

But my yearning for knowledge is my only true passion,

I hope one day I make you proud and for you to realise,

That this is the way I am, I cannot wear a disguise.
