Cliche

All mindless zombies

All dress the same

Follow the same cliche

Wear this and say that

Just to fit in

It's all pathetic

how they think it works

You say you're being unique

whenever everyone else is doing

  the exact same thing

Some buy it and love you

Not love you,

but love what you are trying

  yet will never be

Maybe you truly believe you are most adored by what you wear

You're not

Take all of the fake you away

And you are what you are trying to not be

You ashame those who are who they really are

What they wear because it is really them

You pretend to be the nicest

When you are truly the cruelest

Most of what you wear,

you wear because you want attention

It's your own desperation

Most just want the attention it gives them

Others do it because they're comfortable with it

Be who you want to be,

not who you the think they want you to be

Dont think you're the best because of what you are wearing

It's only material

Take it away and all you are is another,

Another searching desperatly for a place to fit in

Somewhere you won't be looked down upon for what you wear

Wear black when everyone else wears white

Not for atteninon

Dont wear expensive clothes and walk around

thinking you rule all

So what, you're rich, you have money

Big deal

It doesnt mean you have to rub it in

Just because the famous do one thing,

Doesnt mean you should do it too

Mix it all up

Take everything you like

and make something new

Get over the cliche

Stop being another stereotype

Everybody is a follower

With so few leaders

I hate to say it, but this poem is nothing new either.
[The whole not conforming is conforming with the nonconformists paradox?]
It was overly verbose and uninteresting. It's good to think like this, but this isn't a good poem.
