the left out ones

I'd once heard,

people cant live alone. they always flock in to stand at a particular side, neither they are best buddies nor share the same interest.

so these people said,

hey, why arent you in any herd?you must have done something really really bad, that is why you are a pathetic outcast.

then i asked,

why must you arrange yourself to follow the flow? why be in the herd that doesnt fits you at all? does being in the circle makes you less lonely? or being in the deemed-right-side makes you the warrior after righteousness?

they argued in the tiniest breath,

no, you must change for the sake of acceptance.the herd is always right.

i gave them a smirk and snapped,

i dont even care about social ostracism. have you ever questioned the rationale behind every story? do you think you know every single bits that happened? or you are so blinded by the so-called-friendship coalition?

i laughed like hyena and said, how shallow you are to define yourself as the herd.

i dont need herd, a couple of friends whom i know i can rely on whenever i need them. :)

i dont need herd, because i dont need others to judge me, or might as well stew me for what i did.

i dont need herd, whatever issue that puts me on, so be it. let the cards fall where they may.

afterall, i dont need herd because i will never belong to any.
