The Key

A billion buzzing bees

swarm around me,

their comforting hum soothing

---

I am just one among many

indistinct and

inseparable

---

Individuality is a foreign concept

in this world where blending in

is the name of the game

---

The ones who stick out -

they aren’t heroes

They’re to be mocked and cast out

from our ranks

---

One can’t simply choose

to go one’s own way

---

Absurd

---

Following others is the key

The easy and safe option
