"The golden ticket... to reach it, just follow this path,

and it will be yours at long last.

Follow it," they said, "and not the thickness of your head."

But I couldn't, I wasn't capable,

for my thoughts could never be tamable.

I defended myself, raised the bar,

looking in the mirror I saw a star.

The halo over my head said "keep going,

even if others are picky and controlling.

The standard is set, which you have not met;

but if you give in and follow,

your life's purpose will be forever hollow."

And, so it turned out my heart was right,

even if others thought "not quite."

I ripped the tape off from my lips,

and heard my voice speak heavenly bliss,

words which people needed to hear,

but since I was different - no one cared to come near...

But as neglected and lonely as I felt,

my heart would not do anything but melt...

for I was fulfilling my purpose - which society blurred,

but I knew, very well, that I was changing the world.
