Nonconformity

Individuality is exhibited naturally,

Through the way we speak, even in the way we eat.

No one is truly identical.

It’s a common saying, “If everyone looked the same, life would be boring,”

Our days would be filled with endless snoring-

Because our passions aren’t the same,

What energizes you, may deplete someone else.

It’s important to have your own identity,

Even as a teenager, we sometimes have a urge to fit in-

Without considering how we truly feel within.

Individuality is what we need, even if it’s the little things,

Even if it’s never seen-

Society judges every aspect of us.

What we do is never enough.

Nonconformity is self expression,

While society's visions are just suggestions.
