We are millions

We are millions
no, 
we're not mainstream
we wear the wrong clothes
have wrong haircuts
talk about the wrong topics

we don't fit in
we feel invisible
we use the wrong words
and we are born
in the wrong families
make the wrong choices
we think we're invisible

we're not mainstream
we are not average
or maybe we are

we drive the wrong cars
we are too young
before we are too old
we are the wrong kind
a flawed chip of the tree
we are so afraid 
to become v i s i b l e

Whatever...

we are millions
we are but one
being...
a matter of choice
it is seldom said out loud
we don't fit in

We're no match for the truth
are we ?
but we feel it
a certain glance...
a pause when we enter a room...
a non-invitation :-)

we don't fit in ?
Bollocks
we want something
don't we ?
We don't like our face in the mirror ?
throw away the mirror

We're the best
You are
and I am
You want something ?
make the choice

don't fit in
don't get what you want
or change
be a chameleon
get what you want
pay the prize
lose an ideal
or two

stop piercing your tongue
stop tattooing your face
lose weight
lose that lousy haircut
lose your innocence

stop piercing your genitals
stop tattooing your eyeballs
lose Yourself

Whatever...

what's important ?
fitting in ?
staying true to yourself ?
accepting
not to be average
not to be mainstream

we are millions
we are human
we can change
(...)
YES we can
(do we want to ?)

we all have demons
we all are ugly
we all are beautiful
we are normal
we are not
(i n v i s i b l e)

because
no matter who we are
no matter what we are
there is only one of us
we are unique
You are unique 

So be unique
