We all sing just to be heard.
Stand apart, and hope to be seen.
This needs to change, this lying word.

Do not rush to beat the rush, you become the herd.
Don't lose sight of who you've been.
We all sing, just to be heard.

The crowd is absurd.
For uniformity it's been keen.
This needs to change, this lying word.

Society's been caught up in this surge,
a blind and trying, fighting, team.
We all sing, just to be heard.

Those with real talent go passed unheard.
This burden of being is a steep lean.
This needs to change this lying word.

Those who can see, fly free as a bird.
A new rise is coming, and we will be seen.
We all sing just to be heard,
this needs to change, this lying word.

This is my attempt at a Villanelle and it has to do with not conforming or being pulled into the media circus.
