The Conformity of Non-Conformity

There are those who heedlessly follow the crowd There are also a few who singularly continually do not Some of these do it to be different, while some just are They dance to their own voice, hear a different drummer It is not at all easy to be different, it has its price Some think the journey worth it, others soon capitulate Now when you are different, if you are a deep thinker Then sometimes you may even question your own reasoning For some through life, it is a continual questioning why Why am I so different, why do I always have to do what I do Others don’t not give a stuff, they simply do what they want For some, life makes them different, without even asking Some different in looks, in circumstance, mind or body Others so unique, making discoveries conquering the unknown Some even take their difference and turn them into sheer evil They take our world and fill it with non- conforming haters They are people who believe that all must sing to their tune They want to sway the populace to their ways of non-conformity And in their non -conformity to the norm, it turns into conformity Sub-cultures are formed to get away from the traditional values Goth, Metal head, pieced tongues, shaven heads, and dread hawks All eventually without even realizing it living in total compliance The non- conformist therefore has to be a loner not a group culture To be different is to be true to oneself and stand there out on a limb This is a hard road to travel, and certainly not one that is easy to tread.
