THE LITTLE NON~CONFORMIST

THE LITTLE NON~CONFORMIST

One must appear agreeable

And ever so polite

Always friendly, charming

When you're within eyesight

The unspoken rules of etiquette

The proper way one must behave

One must keep up appearances

Don't forget to smile, as you wave

If they should ask you how you are;

Just say fine and how are you

Then quickly turn and walk away

Keeping your feelings out of view

In a pleasant world of pretense

Where nothing's as it seems

It's a secret, lonely, silent place

Where no one hears your screams

The little non-conformist, Β rises

Demanding to be heard

She's not buying into the pretense

And she's spreading the word
Β Β 
I'll shake up your homeostasis

I'll shake and rattle your perfect world

I'm not the compliant little rose

You tried to silence and keep furled
