The Key

A billion buzzing bees

swarm around me,

their comforting hum soothing

I am just one among many

indistinct and

inseparable

Individuality is a foreign concept

in this world where blending in

is the name of the game

The ones who stick out -

they aren't heroes

They're to be mocked and cast out

from our ranks

One can't simply choose

to go one's own way

Absurd

Following others is the key

The easy and safe option
