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
