These days are bright and cold
I am so tired of being told
That I will never make it
That my dreams are worthless
That their dreams are perfect

Today I almost spoke
I almost broke the code
I almost spoke my mind
They would have me torn
Someone no one would ever mourn

Tomorrow I will try again
Who knows what’s over the bend
I have to speak up
Or no one will ever know
I am me not part of the Great We

I will some day
Be free of this prison
Trapped not by bars and walls
But by angry visions
I am myself and always will be

Today is the day
I will finally be free
I will speak my mind
And make them see
The only thing holding me back was me

I am free today
For as long as I try
To be myself and never lie
These days are right and warm
My words can not be shorn

No one can ever really be apart from the crowd. the point is to not follow it's every move, to not move with the flow, but to create other paths for the followers

I loved it i dont wanna be a part of the crowd either. Just to add to that i said that i liked the gothic emo style and when it came up later that year i got told "but you arent that" so does society always think they know and have to choose what one person is or isnt?

Those were two lines that didn't seem to flow with the others in my opinion. I think the first could be changed to something that "they" would do, or something about what you "almost said"
The only problem i had with the second was We....maybe them..or a another word that is associated with them...because we makes it sound like you were part of them and still kinda are
either way you get a five XD
