Everyone says that different is bad
They say that you should try to fit in
Am I the only one
Who disagrees?
I say
Try to be different
For who wants to be the same?
Being the same is like
Being trapped
In a cage
Same is boring
Same is safe
Who wants to play it safe
In life?
So I say
Be different
Don’t be afraid
Some laugh when others
Try to be different
But others don’t
They look up to you
For the courage
To be different
So
Don’t be afraid
And don’t try to fit in
Be different.

Call me stifling, but this doesn't strike me as real poetry. Sure, it's got lines and verses and all that, but it's basically sentences broken up into different lines. If you put it in paragraph form it could pass for prose. In my opinion poetry is more about sensuality and abstraction.
Perhaps this is a personal preference, but I'm not overly fond of anti-conformity writing. I have seen a lot of works condemning sameness, and while I completely agree, the theme is starting to bore me. Not everyone says that different is bad, not by a long shot - take a look at Gaia, which has incredible diversity in opinions and attitudes.
In any case, good luck with your writing.
