The Neon Independent
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 13 years.
Often wondered what it meant to truly be an individual
Not a cinematic Demon in a movie that loved to snuff out that idea
Wolves at the door of someone who stood above the fray
Only to be destroyed by the thing she wanted the most to have
In a society that embraced uniqueness as long as it fit a mold
Only allowed to be interesting as long as it didn't ruffle too many feathers
Posting shockingly inappropriate online comments on social media sites
Caused enough controversy to become the meme to end all memes
Fed up with trying to fulfill some quota of being on the right side of things
Wanted to learn how to make mistakes and dust myself off afterwards
Not dwelling on the past for longer than supposed to be intended
Moving onto the next adventure when it comes along
Finding joy in the most random of occasions like old sitcom repeats
That have been watched millions of times and can be quoted verbatim
The Golden Girls and The Nanny topped that list more than once
Decided that dressing the part of a well adjusted person might help
Bought every blazingly bright top known to online creation
A counter move to block out the white noise of the outside
A representation of all that was shiny and cheerful in the world
Nothing like the bleak landscape of that surrounded the news
And everyday life as the new normal crept into the fold
Full of unrest and chaos; enough to justifiably unsettle anyone
Wondered if it was legitimately appropriate to be covered up
In the designer camouflage of highlighter yellow and lime green shirts
Sporting 10 different colors of nail polish on each finger
Sounded like an outlandish idea, but working from home brought it on
Wanted to pass the time and find my own private version of normalcy
Have been trying continuously to search for it to only minor avail
Seemed more like a slogan for the latest streaming sensation
Not anything related to actual reality in any type of way
Ready to become a singularly functioning organism
Self sustaining and in no idea of a failing idea of a relationship
Looking for a private commitment to finding myself again
Seem to be on the right path; only time will tell if it sticks
That will be something to truly write home about.
