Being myself
I don't ingest the bullshit that society feeds us,
instead I deny the spoon of trend and eat with my own hands.
I mix this and that to make it my own creation,
and I call that "being yourself".
See there are a lot of things within being yourself,
the most important being "in you".
Being yourself is loving who you are as a person and accepting yourself to the maximum capacity,
and I've struggled with it myself,
bot no longer.
No longer will I have to dumb down my vocabulary in order to speak with my fellow breath erin,
or dress to a certain attire in order to refrain, from ridicule or alienation.
If I follow trends instead of doing what I want to do,
as a wise man once told me,
"I will die with the music inside of me".
Weather this means actually making music with voice or just taking the base of music,
expression,
and using it to express myself externally as I feel internally,
well my journey has just begun.

This is an amazing poem, and your revelation that you can be yourself no matter what the "norm" of society may be, is something that many other people wish they could have. Also, your use of a metaphor comparing life to ingredients that make up something that you eat and that eventually goes inside you makes the poem very strong and creates great imagery for the reader.
