As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Imitation is suicide." this poem digs into that concept.

I certainly don’t want to fit in with the rest

And I’ll know if I do that I’m not at my best

I know that if I fit in with them all

Then it shall be marked as that day’s worst fall

 

If everyone whispers then I want to shout

And when heads are low, I want mine to stick out.

Did Jesus spend His time trying to fit in?

No! He did not, and He never sinned

 

To all your opinions, I want to be numb

When you all look smart I don’t mind looking dumb

I don’t care what you think, don’t care what you say

When you make a decision, I’ll find my own way
