Tea in a Coffee Mug

I roamed around1

"Searching" for myself2

Only to find the way of the world3

Its cruel ways,4

Angry eyes...5

Conformity is the norm6

Even though everyone in the "punk" group say7

'I'm just me'8

The ongoing contradiction known as life9

Has confused the idea of the individual10

Cliqués and titles...11

Have taken over12

Leaving me to roam,13

To continue to live and to wonder14

Why I am alone

    I like this! The title, Tea in a Coffe Mug, is the very image this poem portrays: everything in modern day life seems to be a contradiction. If you think you're alone being yourself in this world where everyone seems to have to conform - don't.

    You're not the only one out there feeling like Earl Grey in a mug labeled Folgers.

    Nicely done!
