individuality. the only way to survive is conformity; no one gains recognition through challenging rules! although resisted, you are encouraged by obedience. it's just awful to oblige solely by constant pressure to be new, but please break out of thinking it's prohibiting to be you. the system is simply choosing what's best for the majority. it's ineffective when a single force is thinking for himself. it's time one starts following a mold... now read backwards pbl/080817

I'd like to give credit to a poet with the initials/name (I'm not sure) ron. ron's poem named Perfect Inadequacy (about embracing flaws) inspired me to create a poem with the same structure, but focusing on embracing one's uniqueness. ron, if you see this, thank you so much for your poetic prowess!!
