Individuality vs conformity

Humans are by nature

unappeasable  no matter their behavior.

As a conformist

We threaten outsiders,

Yet long to be our own person.

And individuality is no better,

We long for acceptance of

The group we once called home.

That is the nature of humans,

We viscously treat

those that are not like us.

Its no wonder so few are happy

with such constant inner confliction.

Because the human mind is

a kingdom ruled by two fears,

Fear of the unknown,

And Fear of rejection.
