Individuality

Your poison seeps through my brain

Get into the corporated culture

Fit the clique, please

We have no room for individuality

So make sure the poems rhyme

Write it to a-b-a-b-c form

Being different is now a crime

Wear the uniform, wether or not it's warm

We have no room for individuality

See the movie that's number one

Spend your money at the same place everyday

Small talk with your neighbors

Turn off the rock and listen to Top 40

Get the girl that everyone wants

Then be the average man

Not too good, nor too bad

Cause thats what it takes when 

We have no room for individuality

Go to the same classes

Learn the same things

Talk it out and the work

Learn to love being crushed

Cause happy is something

No one else seems to be

Wouldn't want to stick out

Then we might get noticed

It'd be dangerous

Thats why we say 

We have no room for individuality

Ahhhh this is how my school feels. Just about every single person there acts like a robot! We have too many followers and not enough people willing to be leaders. It's kind of hard for me since I'm the odd one! With piercings and suspenders and ties and just anything out of the ordinary yet every Wednesday I get up and put on an Air Force JROTC uniform. A lot of jokes are said at my expense and it gets very annoying to be criticized for being out of the ordinary, but that's okay because I love the danger and thrill that my individuality gives me.
Great poem! Thank you for sharing with us.

2nd stanza=legendary... A-b-a-b-c truly adhered to... Brought out the central idea beautifully... Thumbs up

I really enjoyed this piece! I think it was well-written and the point was well put out there. I am a unique individual and I embrace individuality and this poem definitely struck the reasons as to why I like to be different.

Great job!

I will always make room for individuality.......never shall I conform to the norm. I like the way you poke fun at those who do in this splendid piece.

This is actually immense.
I especially like the third stanza, but that's probably because I genuinely hate most generic chart music, and everything I love is some form of rock xD
I love the repetition of "We have no room for individuality", to me it represents the repetitiveness of the boring, bland lifestyle that the speaker of the poem is trying to enforce...
A 100/100, easily (:
