A General Rule That Doesn't Apply To Anyone

by Nicole M. - Gemini

It's funny
We're all about
Being ourselves
  individuals
 standing out in the crowd
Determined to prove
  we don't fit
any rules
   and nothing about us conforms
to the larger population
  we're all 
individuals
   that's not me
 I'm the exception
 

but pull away
  location
    drugs
 money
  education
 colors
    attributes
  

  (this is something called sociology)

and you end up with something called
  human nature

Deny it?
  Hm
Then what do you have left?

Reason for writing:

    I "overheard" a conversation...freshman were saying how different they are from everyone else, and how they wouldn't act this way or that in certain situations...I just find it odd how some people refuse to believe that we all share have some inate traits we will act on no matter what.
