i'm standing nay, protruding from this crowd of conformants all lined up like soldiers ready for battle that they hope won't come but i'm ready to fight at least against conformity my appearance  is unlikely for my kind but,  i'm still standing some of us like me have been here for ages we know the ins and outs of our habitat the young ones are always trouble doesn't take much for them to snap but, at least i'm still standing. on a bright sunny day unexpectedly our battle begins all i can hear around me are screams from devices, snapping limbs, the tanks have come for us, i feel the tinge of fear come upon me but i stand strong They won't need me, i'm different right? i hear the screams, they come closer they squeeze all sound from my body "If I fall in a forest, and nobody is around to hear me dying, am I really making noise?" silence . i glance around me, i see nothing except the grass my friends are lying, suffereing but i have no limbs to spare But hey, at least i'm still standing.
