Nonconformity
We strive for it
Trying to break the mold society had built
Unknowingly, we add the foundation

Looking to our acquaintances for guidance
Indifference attained by copying our peers
Trying to be different by acting identical

Too frightened to change
Comfort possessed in un-individuality
Difference results in questions
Questions that we are not independent enough to answer
