STORE-BOUGHT

I see you,

everyday,

down the aisle of

personality.

The special of the day,

to be like everyone else,

is your purchase.

You blend into the crowd

instead of standing out.

You are

gray

in this black and white world.

Everyday,

the same thing.

The special, whatever’s on sale.

Nothing new.

Don’t experiment,

for fear of being different.

Stay safe.

You can’t stand out.

I fear the day

when you enter that  store,

you ask for your special,

and they are

sold out.
