Here are some poems I've recently written on individuality...

NUMBER ONE:
You talk about me when I am different
But you laugh at me when I am not
I try to impress you, but I can’t
And it’s hard because I try a lot
All you do is ridicule
And there is no way to impress you
I don’t know how to act
And I don’t know what to do
But, I try so hard to pretend
To act like nothing’s wrong
I’m keeping a straight face
But I don’t know for how long
I am giving up, I’m not trying to impress
For now , there is one thing left to do
To turn my back
And walk away from you

NUMBER TWO:
Forget you for thinking you're so cool
You're laughing at me cause of who I am
while I'm laughing at you cause you're just like them
Forget you for all that you stand
you think that getting wasted is the best way to live
But I know that praying to God is the way to be ahead
Forget you for not fighting them off
You gave up after only the first shot
Forget you, and all that you do
You camp out in the bars with all those people around
You act like all the preps you constantly surround
Forget you and how you’ve become
You laugh at me for what I am
but I know that I’ll be better in the end

NUMBER THREE:
Quit pretending like your something special
Quit trying to act like your the best
After nine years of knowing you
I can see past your little disguise
Why must you act the way you do
I know who you are
and I truly love you
If I didn't like you the way you were
I wouldn't be with you in the first place
I'm your friend, never less, but always so much more
Your my brother, the one i put first
so remember that the next time you want to be someone else

NUMBER FOUR:
The voice inside my head keeps growing louder
Growing steadily like a tree, only faster
It’s telling me the truth, I know it is
But I can’t leave them
We’re like a pack of wolves
We think the same, and do the same things
We hunt those who are unlike us
These are the lone wolves; the outcasts
We hunt them down and tear them apart like savage beasts
I hear the screams of the victims flow into the sky like a whirlwind
I know I must stop this, I must stop it now
I stand up, and I tell them no
Now, I become the judge
I must decide the fate of these people
I chase the wolves off and see the ruin they leave behind
A single girl, once her own self
she was once the red dot in the all-blue field
but now, she has sunk away into the blue
She has blended in and forever lost herself
But in her place, a small seed has sprouted
I am shedding the blue and adopting the red
This is the way of the wolves

NUMBER FIVE:
You say that you’re different
That you’re the same you used to be
But then baby, your eyes must be just a little weak
You walk and talk and act just like them
Tell me, how come you can’t see
You used to be mine
The one who I knew
You said you’d never sink to their level
But they reeled you in, and showed you their world
And now, when I walked past
I see the mindless eyes looking up at me
How can you live like that
When you used to be so cool
I miss you baby, and I want you to come home
