Granny said, "you are strong"
"you are punny" society said
Maybe it's myopic eyes saw me fall yet failed to see me gather strength and stand tall
Granny said create your path, society asked me to follow the trend
For it has crossed the borders of it's culture to another's and have painted deviance white to appear pure amongst the inhabitants but refused to understand that the pig remains a pig even if covered by a goat skin
Granny said
"persevere"
Society advised, "give up"
Because it's too blind to see that consistency breeds good results or it gathered no information about success
Granny never left me but society left me alone to face reality
Now I know the difference yes! the difference between Granny and society
