Why be the same?
When you can show your true colors and be different.

Dare to be different
When someone tells you that you’re not good enough.

Dare to be different
When the school bullies come and “try” to tear you down.

Dare to be different
When peer pressure comes around and you have a choice.

Dare to be different
When life gives you troublesome times.

Does it matter what anyone else thinks?
When you dare to be different, show who you really are, not what anyone else tells you who to be.

I wrote this poem about being different. It seems that everyone wants to be exactly the same as their friends. Show your true colors and be different!!!
