Independence From The Herd

The herd will outnumber you 
with an opinion you’re equal too
the echo chamber is hollow 
so those ego chasers follow 
as they parrot the sheep 
opinions they can keep 
because safety means acceptance 
and popularity has importance 
so they’re finally fitting in 
and it soothes the soul within 
that’s when you can walk alone 
stronger than the herd have known 
thinking for yourself 
as they copy someone else
