Unknown and Different

They say everything happens for a reason
But who are they to say
Who are they to judge
To set the rules for YOUR life
They can't
They shouldn't
But they do...
Why do you listen?
Why do you stay....
Why do I stay or listen?
We don't know
We're robots like everyone else
Just like every other f*****g person
Slaving away to the American dream
Just like we're programmed to do
Why fear the different
Because it's unnatural?
Unnatural to who though?
Maybe it is natural
And we're the aliens
Who knows....
NO ONE

If we 'listen' to our spiritual inner self.......none of the 'THEY' seems to make a difference. (well written, though, Masie.)

generally, I like it.
I particularly liked the line about the American Dream. I think that's such an important misconception for art to bring to the forefront of society.
stylistically, the crossing out of "f*****g" was brilliant.
very portrayed use of emotion - great job!
