"Failing isn't just for failures, it's for everybody. Failures just have more experience." - Dan Smith


I'm afraid of losing it
the thing I struggled against the demons for,

Identity

Afraid of losing it in the mass
pushing me into their mold
but I won't fit, it's too small

They're all the same
but everything is different
the world I believed in is becoming of one belief

Too scared to express, for fear of offense
they keep silent
and in silence,

Comes death
to the thing that kept them alive,

Identity

Love it!! I feel like with little work the first stanza itself could be a haiku!!! :D (basically you just make the word identity the title and re arrange the words) Keep writing please!! :)
