As people we have a tendency to want to fit into the groups and be liked. But that doesn’t mean that we need to act like everyone else does it? Here’s a poem about just that.

The road of life is a narrow one

So crowed, and tight for room

That once a movement has begun

In one direction all must move

But hey, just one way that we all most go?

but then were is individuality?

Do we all have to linger, and move with the flow

Or should our own person, we strive to be?

Should we ask “what do others do?”

Or should you try to be more like you

When others whisper, try to yell

When they’re quiet, that’s a cue to tell

No matter what, the reason will seem

It’s OK to try and swim upstream

    Very good. I think it’s important to be individual. Thanks for sharing.

    I love the thought of not following the crowd, of being an individual. I tell that to my daughter all the time.
