Unique And Free

I wrote this out of the blue, it may not be my best but here it is!

Unlike everyone, i'm

Not into "trends" and "whats in" 

I like using my own style and i'm

Quitting the organization of "Fitting In"

Unlike everyone, i stand out!

Everywhere i go,

 

All i see are people looking alike

No originality, no individuality

Doesn't that bother you?

 

Forget fitting in!

Rise up! Add some color to this black and white world

Erase the boundaries society created and

Enjoy your new life!

This poem was cute. Not entirely original (is anything ever really original? hmmmm), after all there are a ton of poems acting as apologists for individuality but this was cute all the same.

I would suggest looking at the line "Rise up! Be the color of this black and white world" from the third stanza, I believe there is a typo. You've been saying be unique do something different and then all the sudden you say be boring like everyone else... so I'm not sure it that was intended.

But I really loved the line "Quitting the organization of "Fitting In"' That was really nice and got my attention as a reader...

So props for a job well done.

definitely cute, and not bad for something you jotted down. i especially love how you stayed within the acrostic, but it flowed really well

"All i see are people looking alike

No originality, no individuality

Doesn't that bother you?"

that was my favorite - i loved the question you presented to the reader - like wake up! let it bother you; it should :)

A ery colourfull piece. A lot of people conform to social norms because they don't want to stand out from others or be singled out....yet have you noticed that if a film or pop star does someting new and different its counted as trendsetting? Mmmmmm......Always be yourself with what you are comfortable with. A great write!

Exactly, though we have rules we must follow, we are humans-not robots. Great poem

I think this has to be said (and should be said) by everyone once in a while - even if you start this with 'Unlike everyone.....' We are all individuals and should all celebrate this fact but sadly, so easily, we become powerless and get caught in traps. I guess we all copy each other to some extent but also we should all retain an integrity that keeps us who we really are.

Does that make any sense?

Well said!!

What a wonderfully honest right. It's true that copying everybody else makes everything boring. Sometimes, one needs to be himself, to be unique, to make the world a more interesting place. Keep up the good work.

a good idea of being different...we all need to be ourselves, individuality is the key. why be like everyone else? fitting in is really overrated....

a good write and a good job.

Love ya,

I love the whole theme of this poem, and the "add some color..." line was very creative.
