Copies Poem by Brad Dodson

“Copies”
Society today tells us that we should look, dress, and act a certain way but all that does is turn us into copies of each other. When will we see this and realize that it isn’t right? Most of us do realize this but go with it nun-the less because we are too afraid that they won’t “fit in”. However there is another group of us who see this, realize it and actually defy what society tells us. That small group dresses how they want to, acts like they want to. They refuse to become copies like everyone else is. Piercings & Tattoos they are viewed as freaks and troubled kids. But I think it’s the other way around. Because I think only a freak or someone troubled would want to be just like everyone else. At least the people with tattoos and piercings have an identity of their own. The Copies can’t say that they have that. I don’t have any tattoos or piercings but I can honestly say I’m not a copy like everyone else. But what are you? Are you a “freak” or a copy? If you’re a copy ask yourself “Am I happy being just like everyone else? ”
