Different

Everyone says that different is bad
They say that you should try to fit in
Am I the only one
Who disagrees?
I say
Try to be different
For who wants to be the same?
Being the same is like
Being trapped
In a cage
Same is boring
Same is safe
Who wants to play it safe
In life?
So I say
Be different
Don’t be afraid
Some laugh when others
Try to be different
But others don’t
They look up to you
For the courage
To be different
So
Don’t be afraid
And don’t try to fit in
Be different.

I liked the content of the poem very much, and I agree with it. As a poem though it could do better.

You could try using metaphors or similes in some places, and uses of imagery. I understand this is a free verse, but it seemed to me more like several sentences were just cut down to make it look like poetry.

I think you're off to a good start with this poem, you should try modifiying it perhaps, try a rhyme scheme or something. I like writing out a poem, and then playing around with it, you always learn something from it, and you may end up with something better than you already started with.

It has a great message, but you readers don't have any imagery to form a picture in there head.
