Favorite spice

You never listen, child
Drop that poem, you fill my house with words and ink that fades with time, give me a trophy that is forever
Stare at those numbers even if they dance around in blurs, make sure you don't move from that confusion
Can't you see your brother?
He's like the arch of my eyebrows, perfect
Why are you that strand of hair that never stays in place?
For God's sake, don't slouch, speak out, don't be too loud, be perfect
Dance to the beat I drum, what will people say?

Now, listen
I will not apologize if I don't fit the picture you created
I will not be shamed because I'm the grey in your shade of white
Variety is the spice of life, they say
I have my own flavour, don't tell me your favourite spice
We don't all get what we wish for
So don't judge me if I'm not the Barbie perfect you asked fairy godmother for
10 million people, 10 million personalities
You either love this brand or you don't
Don't you dare ask me to be the reflection of another
Like royal blue and sky blue, we are different
Don't you ever forget, I am me and I'm enough.
