Look around your school today
Memorize these faces
Look at the life that thrives here
That all the world embraces
Then take a closer look to see
That we are all the same
Born with individuality
But lost into this game
Should we really have to change ourselves
Trying to be "unique"
Model all our perfect bodies
after one unattainable physique
We are the same here
Individuals conforming
And living life to its "fullest"
All the while just performing
So take a look around today
and don’t see another face
Because we are ourselves and nothing more
Deteriorating to fit this place

Wow lisa...great job on this one!! You really have me thinking now...i guess i dont recognize the differences of us all. It is true though, we spend so much time trying to become unique that we dont realize we really already are.

Excellent write. I have always been a very strong opponent of conforming. This was a great poem. I wish I saw more like it around here.
