I want to be different, like everybody else I want to be like
I want to be just like all the different people
I have no further interest in being the same
Because I have seen difference all around
And now I know that that's what I want
I don't want to blend in and be indistinguishable
I want to be a part of the different crowd
And assert my individuality along with the others
Who are different like me
I don't want to be identical to anyone or anything
I don't even want to be identical to myself
I want to look in the mirror and wonder
"Who is that person? I've never seen that person before
I've never seen anyone like that before."
I want to call into question the very idea
That identity can be attached
I want a floating, shifting, ever changing persona
Invisibility and obscurity
Detachment from the ego and all of its pursuits
Unity is useless
Conformity is competitive and divisive
And leads only to stagnation and death
I want to be just like all the different people
I have no further interest in being the same
Because I have seen difference all around

I don't want to blend in and be indistinguishable
I want to be a part of the different crowd

Who are different like me
I don't want to be identical to anyone or anything
I don't even want to be identical to myself

I've never seen anyone like that before."
