They broke the mold when they made me
They broke it with you too
In truth, we’re all too grand to be
Something common and mass produced
For we are all unfettered
Unbounded and
Unrestrained
None of us have limits,
We imagine our binding chains
‘We were born to love and laugh here
To live our lives un-refrained
Yet years go by with programs
The shoulds and woulds we all are trained
Forgetting our one true nature
As we slowly lose our game
Forcing ourselves into molds now
Hiding beauty behind shame
Trading our unique and irreplaceable
For Barbie and Ken doll fame
We can never make our mark here
If we keep repeating these insane tasks
We subvert to the opinions of others
As we quickly don our masks
Worrying more of family and friends here
We’ve confused their beginnings with our ends
Our focus squandered on fitting in molds
Whitewashing away our rainbow souls
Too confused to see the truth made whole
Blinded to the beauty which we each hold
We have forgotten to look within
We keep repeating our Original Sin
We must escape these noisy liars
We will never quite fit in
Stop listening to others,
Hear your own voice instead
You are more than just your body
You are more than all they’ve said
You are more than all the programs
Running inside your pretty head
Just take a moment and muse here,
A pause from the living dead
If our bodies can’t contain us,
Why are you forcing it to?
If they broke the mold when they made us,
Why hide the way you do?
If there is no mold to restrain us,
When will you be your truth?
