Nothing New

(Bythebrooke)

Looking at people

They all seem so plain

Wanting some variety

Disliking the sane

Searching for contrast

From that which I've known

I strive for unique

But feel so alone

How simple am I

Ignorance in me

Forcing distinctness

Not letting life be

No different from others

We all want the same

Acting for one part

Playing a silly game

Why can't I be happy

Knowing I'm like you

Thought I could be special

But realizing I'm nothing new
