island
i am the island
My world is colorless
Flooded with ignorance
Waves of hatred
Drown my people
i am the island
A hurricane of humans
Crash against my shore
Bringing with it cries of
Conformity and Assimilation
i am the island
My identity is my own
I have identity
The continents fight in
Civil war for independence
Their fight is in vain
For continents have no identity
i am the island
My identity is stronger
Than the continents for
i Did not conform i stayed
an island an island of freedom
They look in awe at me
My shoes that bear the
Legacy of freedom
My writing bears the
Scars of their attacks
My chaotic soul that
Breaks the Atmosphere of
Reality is an ice-cold rage
i am the island
They scream and run
A frenzy of fear
They shoot words
Fiery words of hate and ignorance
They call allies
Allies without islands
Allies with no identity
i overtake the continents with
ease for i am not bound by
the chains of the MASSES
i am the island
