Here I go,
drip drip...
in to the crowd.
why?
Change is good.
No person,
can be a lonely
isle,
for,
we all touch
people in our lives,
and none of us is
totally alone,
so don't even try,
there is no such thing
as individuality.

i like this.. I always love poems that take a cliche or saying and change it around so it's fresh and new. nice write.

I like this poem, but I don't really understand the beginning. I don't know, what does the drip, drip mean? I really liked the rhythm and flow of the poem. It sounded beautiful, but I'm not sure that I agree so much about the phisophical aspects. The perspective is very interesting, but individuality is all around us. We just have to look for it. Though it may seem to not be there, it is. We're just blind to it sometimes. (I love the metaphore of an isle)

I agree with your aspect. Truly, we do indeed copy others we find inspiring, and we all are somehow part of the crowd. There is a thing called individuality though, and it isn't how a person looks it is also in the way people act. Not 2 people are exactly the same. If you take a good look, once or twice, you will find for yourself that every single on of us has our own individuality. Its just been tampered with and it hides, but sooner or later...you will find out...it is there.
-Very good piece, however. I shall applaud.

Really awsome perspective here! It's so true, individuality can't really exist because each of our actions are inspired by something, they come from elsewhere. You've made this really powerful and the ending has such a deep realistic effect. Great job!
