I am a someone trying to be with the crowd,
I am fitting in wherever I am allowed,

I observe what they always do,
I stay with them and stick to them like glue,

I try to imitate their slangs and pick up lines,
I know it is tough, but I try not to whine,

I be like them, but I fail to do so,
With the fixed thought in my mind to go with the flow,

Not knowing the difference between unique and odd,
I go around with a mentality completely opposite to broad,

I am tired of people's irrelevant prattle,
For me it is like fighting a battle,

I stand upright with a different personality,
I be with people with whom I can stay without any formality,

This is the reason behind not getting along,
I realise that I have made my mindset strong,

I register that it doesn't matter if I am being talked about,
What matters is that you cannot blend in when you are born to stand out.
