Individualism

Individualism; the pursuit of one's own ends or ideas as a mode or principle of life

you're not out to impress anyone.
but you're out to make a statement.
die your hair in a shade of pink,
i say, "who the **** cares?".

make orange the new black.
give bellbottoms a rocking come-back.
jetset to a new fashion trend.
in the end,its you that they're looking at.

it never mattered how stupid one looks.
but how she carries herself.
people look.they stare.
but never in a million years can they ever strut like her.

copycat-ism is so overrated.
everwhere i walk.i see the masquerades.
superficial?indeed.
cliche?definitely.

At the turn of the century, its time we redefine who we'd be.
