Different

A poem about peer pressure

Everyone says that different is bad
They say that you should try to fit in
Am I the only one
Who disagrees?
I say
Try to be different
For who wants to be the same?
Being the same is like
Being trapped
In a cage
Same is boring
Same is safe
Who wants to play it safe
In life?
So I say
Be different
Don’t be afraid
Some laugh when others
Try to be different
But others don’t
They look up to you
For the courage
To be different
So
Don’t be afraid
And don’t try to fit in
Be different.
