How odd is odd

sorenbarrett

Sanity the norm, crazy if you don't conform
Insanity by vote outsiders just a sour note
snow flakes in a storm six sides is the norm
differences remote, makes you a scapegoat

Differences you see do they set you free
told that you're ill, for variance there's no pill 
in regard to variability it's just a matter of degree 
Those unlike us leave a chill but are human still

        In all “reality” there is but one race, the Human Race. If we would only learn to love the human, the rest would fall in to place. Nicely done, Soren. Thanks for sharing.

          Us and Them is an old game that resurrects every now and again…corporate defence mechanism perhaps?🙏🏻🕊

              I've tried to con-form, but the limitation is unbearable. Great write, Soren.

                Indeed. How much difference rattles our bones...and yet, how different are we? In one sense, vastly different. There are entire universes with in people, perhaps multiverses. Yet, in another way, not very different at all. Sometimes we find ourselves having to comply, but I determined a long time ago that I will never conform. I am who I am. Wonderful write, Soren. This one hit home! 🌹👏

                    A poignant reflection on the tension between conformity and individuality. Well written!!!

                    • sorenbarrett

                      Thank you Salvia for your read and observant comment. Yes conformity can be good for society but bad for the individual.
