You are made of clay
and can be moulded
into a shape
A beautiful, imperfect shape
that is yours,
and yours alone
So why then do you decide
to take a shape
that has already been sculpted?

&quot;If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn&#039;t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn&#039;t be, and what it wouldn&#039;t be, it would. You see?&quot;

I love the contrast of the first few lines with the last sentence; it really drove home the point of the poem and it made the poem unique... and amazing!
