I&#039;m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I&#039;ve always been a freak. So I&#039;ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I&#039;m one of those people.<br /> ~John Lennon

Medical school,
Schmedical school.
Who needs it anyway?
Technology is what you crave.


You use it every day,
You practically breathe it in,
As if it’s life itself.
Are you capable of putting it aside,
Placing it on a shelf?


You’re smart, yes,
And pretty, too.
So live your life;
Say things out of the blue.


There’s a world outside
Your sparkly screen.
It’s beautiful there,
Though not pristine.


There you’ll find happiness
Under the dust,
If you’ll only
Learn to trust.
