Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

Different

My son was saying
I might get my ear pierced
or get a tatoo
every kid wants to prove he's different

that's true I said 
every kid does it, 
to prove he's different 
and yet what they really prove

Is that, they are the same
to be different
all you really need to do,
is don't do anything

It's, in not doing anything,
that we really 
prove we're different,
you don't have to conform

we can choose to be 
and individual
in fact each of us 
already has

different likes and dislikes
we dress different
we act different 
we are different
