my poem was about people who are popular are sometimes self-centered and selfish. the theme to me was to be yourself and not someone else.

I wrote my poem at the point to view of a person who someone is trying to change. He/she compares themself and the other to birds, and the ocean. It related to the theme, that they'ld rather be themself then caught up in the society of today's world.

Alex and Michael
We wrote our song about being different from everybody else. It had the same theme because the person in the poem wanted to be different and the person in our poem wanted to be different.

Identity
By Alex Lewis & Michael Summerour
Verse 1: Everybody wants to act the same, but they don’t stand out
I wanna be different, so they know what I’m about
To act different, I may yell and shout
Or I could be quiet and pout
If you take the same road, I’m gonna take the other route
I’m gonna do good in school, be a nerd, and not be a dropout
Everybody wants to stay content, but I’m gonna breakout
I’m gonna be unique, there is no doubt
Chorus: I’d rather be a tree, than a blade of grass
I’d rather be a bully, than a person with class
I’m gonna take my life slow, while you take it fast
I don’t wanna be in the spotlight, I’ll be an outcast
I’d rather shoot the J, while you’d rather pass
You follow the same people, but the unique ones you harass
My time is ticking, my life is an hourglass
Verse 2: Diversity is a virtue, so strong enough to hurt you
Similarity is so common, that sometimes it seems untrue
But being unlike everybody is what I’m tryna pursue
There are many similar people, but with different people, there’s few
You may see things differently, but what matters is what I view
I want my words to be heard and stick to you like glue
You’re talking to your friends about what you did, but they said they gonna do dat too
But I’m talking to my friends, and they said that’s new
Chorus: I’d rather be a tree, than a blade of grass
I’d rather be a bully, than a person with class
I’m gonna take my life slow, while you take it fast
I don’t wanna be in the spotlight, I’ll be an outcast
I’d rather shoot the J, while you’d rather pass
You follow the same people, but the unique ones you harass
My time is ticking, my life is an hourglass
Verse 3: You slow up when you see me, while I speed down the freeway
My plays are always different, but your life is like a replay
You do the same stuff today, as you did yesterday
You’re always taking the safe way, but I’m causing melee
You take the train, but I take the subway
But you’ll understand what I’m saying someday
Probably when you’re old and gray
But if you were lucky, you’d get it today
Chorus: I’d rather be a tree, than a blade of grass
I’d rather be a bully, than a person with class
I’m gonna take my life slow, while you take it fast
I don’t wanna be in the spotlight, I’ll be an outcast
I’d rather shoot the J, while you’d rather pass
You follow the same people, but the unique ones you harass
My time is ticking, my life is an hourglass (Fades out)

My poem is about a dog trapped inside a mansion that he lives in and he wants to be free from what he thinks is boredom and having nothing to do but laying in his pure bed and licking dishes clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My poem is about a bird who is free. it is looking in on a bird in a beautiful cage and is thinking about how he himself is so lucky to be free. this is like the poem because the flower didnt want to be in a pot.

I wrote mine about why it is good to stand alone. To be unique when everybody else is in a clique.

I wrote my poem about how you should control your own life because if you don't then no one will really know who you really are

My song was about a guy who want to prove that being different isn't bad than being somebody who really isn't you.
It has the same theme because it talks about how somebody rather be something worse and still be himeself rather than something he isn't, and be different.

my was about being yourself
You
I’m You
I’m different then next one
It’s like the moon and the sun
Kinda like bein sad and havin fun
This message is a crucial one
Go ahead and do what you do
So no one can copy you
(chorus)
Be yourself man
Be better than next man
Fresh thoughts on your brain
Be the best playa
Just forget your haters
Cause they want to be you!
Stay open like a window
Keep away Indo, you know
What you like to do, you know
What defines, who you are
Helps you stay at the top of the bar
No more being taking the same route
Neva standin out
Put words in your mouth
Shout out
Being yourself dog
Dats what its all about
then next one
It’s like the moon and the sun
Kinda like bein sad and havin fun
This message is a crucial one
Go ahead and do what you do
So no one can copy you
(chorus)
Be yourself man
Be better than next man
Fresh thoughts on your brain
Be the best playa
Just forget your haters
Cause they want to be you!
Stay open like a window
Keep away Indo, you know
What you like to do, you know
What defines, who you are
Helps you stay at the top of the bar
No more being taking the same route
Neva standin out
Spit intelligent words in your mouth
Shout somethin out
Being yourself dog,
Dats what its all about
(chorus)
Be yourself man
Be better than next man
Fresh thoughts on your brain
Be the best playa
Just forget your haters
Cause they want to be you!
(Music fades out)

My song was about people not changing themselves for other people that they are perfect just by being themselves. That they don't and shouldn't have to change themsleves for other peoples benefits.

My song was about the world being a better place, and not following everyone else and not realizing the worlds beauty.

My song was about standing out and being patient. It was also about making your own identity and not following everybody else.
