Defying the social norms,
Being unapologetically yourself,

Not surrendering to the conventional ideas,
Isolated from the herd,
Not fitting in the society,

Becoming a social outcast,
The odd one out,
But if we follow as an obidient sheep,
We have the benefits of the herd,
Maybe socializing and validation,

We easily fall for - wealth,
Status, ranks, credentials, badge of honour,
People exchange their individuality,
For "Conformity",
Which becomes quite meaningless,
If we think outside of the "society bubble",

We need strength and willingness,
To be our authentic self,
We will be laughed at, despised or even punished,
Ridiculed and ostracised,
For not being one among them,

The price we pay for our non conformity,
If we don't stay in the social rut,
We invite social disapproval,
