Lovely use of a simile to address a common object found in school as well as ordinary society. It's also very useful to look upon yourself after critiquing others, definitely a strong point in this poem that teaches a valuable lesson. Original work, and one of my favorites.

it's a great poem, i know the feeling of trying not to be like everyone else, it's hard.

YES. You are so right. This is really good. We are all just conformists and we're all really the same. Pretty ** depressing once you begin to think about it. Thanks for making me sad! just kidding, nice poem.

Good topic - conformity. It takes some courage to tell the truth, and it takes some individuality to comment and critique the world. Good job.

This was very well written and very true. Lots of poems are written about how everyone at school looks/acts/is the same, but very few poems touch on the fact that the subgroups that laugh at them are just the same as their friends.

My only critique would be that sometimes the rhyming seems a little forced, but other than that, great job!!

I liked this poem. It is very true. I completely agree with it's message.

Not to advertise, but it's like I wrote in my poem Same Difference.

People try/want to be different, but no matter what, we're still all alike. I could go on, but this is a review, not my online journal. xD

Very good job. ^__^

Horaah for honesty!! this is very true, and well-written.Your lack of any sort of pretentiousness is rather admirable (says she jelously).
