A Villanelle I had to write for a class in college.
Is individualism a false trait?
With so many people, how many can be original?
It's not too late - don't begin to amalgamate.

We've all been judged, view some as second-rate,
Pressured to fit in just based upon the visual.
Is individualism a false trait?

A fear for difference is what we communicate.
If you don't find a place to fit, you are invisible.
It's not too late - don't begin to amalgamate.

The pressure is too much - you'll begin to suffocate,
Trying to fit in with what is traditional.
Is individualism a false trait?

Only through giving in will the pressure alleviate.
To the eccentric, society is inhospitable.
It's not too late - don't begin to amalgamate.

After so much struggling, you start to deteriorate.
Was failure fate for the individual?
Is individualism a false trait?
It's too late - you've begun to amalgamate.
