Sometimes

Sometimes you choose to be an outcast, sometimes on you that's thrust, 

Sometimes all you covet is solitude, at other times, isolation, becomes a must. 

Sometimes you break out of the ranks, sometimes they simply charge ahead,

Sometimes you easily loose your cool, at other times, they make you see red.

Sometimes the world whizzes by, sometimes you do a slow dance, 

Sometimes your sonnets reek of love, at other times you hide behind romance. 

Sometimes you don't want to fit in the box, sometimes they make it too small,

Sometimes you want your voice to echo, at other times, it reverberates because of the hall.

Sometimes you try to appease them, sometimes the pressure gets to you, 

Sometimes you create a sombre mood, at other times, you succumb to all that is blue. 

Sometimes you can't see in the mirror, sometimes what you notice is the prominent background,

Sometimes you want to jut and stick out, at other times, you are stuck in a hole that's round. 

Sometimes you write for catharsis, sometimes you let out a Freudian slip, 

Sometimes you try hard to forget her, at other times, she disappears in a blip.
