Just something off the top of my head..

The world as we know it is soft and weak
Padding our words as to not to offend
Believing a printed lie instead of the spoken truth
And wearing many faces to just fit in

Lurking in corners and hiding in shadows
Shielding our true selves from the world outside
Stating only the politically correct
Holding our tongue, proof of a brain... fried

Far from saying don’t be kind
Or that there isn’t a time and place for everything
But being yourself isn’t so bad
Life's too short to not be the hero in your own dreams*Dollar*

Instead show the ugly
Let it all hang out
The truth is the truth, you are who you are
No matter how you want to walk it about

So cultivate your inner monster
Nourish it and watch it grow
Show the world you are proud to be you
Unique, crazy, with a slightly inflated ego…*Smile*
