Original. A word most people would call themselves. What they don’t know is that they have been lying to themselves. For no one is truly original. Everyone wants to belong; kids go to school surrounded by other children. What happens after a while is we seethe popular kids emerge, a “leader” if you will. Everyone starts to imitate them hoping to achieve the level of popularity. There are kids who try to be themselves, but get dragged back kicking and screaming. No one wants to be “that weird kid”, so they all conform. The majority of the time it is a subconscious decision. Our survival instincts at play. Adapting to the social climate. You will see children start to repress their uniqueness in order to fit in . While adapting is the common reflex action, some of the species are unable to hide or change who they are, and are thus ostracized. Ostracized because they dare be different from the predominant social characteristics. Ostracized because they can’t and won’t hide who they are to appease the social norm. These children are warriors, for they fight to stay alive. When the rest of the society is trying to push them under. They survive because because they are strong. In society you either thrive or die trying. These warriors are considered by most, to be the pathetic weaklings, crying in the corner. How can they be weak when they are stronger than the rest of the human population? They endure so much daily, and yet they keep going. They keep going because they know that if the stop fighting they will forever sink into the abyss. Never to cry. Never to hurt. Never to exist. Never again. Never again will their presence be felt on this earth.
