Sitting alone, earphones on

I drink my coffee
Eat my donut
Have no one to talk to

It would be nice to join the groupthink
Be loved by agreeing
Gain acceptance by peers

It hurts to be isolated
Reviled for having a different opinion
Ridiculed for thinking differently

But I have to live with myself
Wake up with my dignity
Remain true to what I think

So I have to do the right thing
Say what I think is true
Speak out when is necessary

They can have their groupthink
Collect their likes
Enjoy their retweets

What I do makes me happy
Keeps my dignity intact
Allows me to be proud

So I drink my coffee
Eat my donut
Love what I do
