Different in the Dark
We pride ourselves in individuality
In how unique we can become.
But we all follow the same rules
In the aims to be _someone_.
Out in society we apply ourselves
To dress codes
_But look, my cuff links are different_
Dude, you look like a penguin
And that’s not a compliment.
But none of that changes what happens
When we recede to our own spaces.
Doesn’t matter the gender,
Or difference between races.
So when the lights go out for the night,
Even assassins will miss their mark,
Because unlike in the daylight,
We all look the same in the dark.
