Have you ever felt confused in your thinking <br />And thought your views on life may be all wrong <br />That the group of friends which you had known for some years <br />Is not the group to which you should belong. <br /> <br />Those that you looked up to for many Seasons <br />Are now the people you do not admire <br />You've grown apart from them in your ways and your thinking <br />Of sameness most people do seem to tire. <br /> <br />In the pubs and clubs they frequent they dwell on the same subjects <br />Themselves, their family and sports, work and football <br />Nowadays you find such subjects rather boring <br />And sameness does not interest you at all. <br /> <br />You do not see in work and money status <br />And you are far more spiritually aware <br />And yet you envy them their happiness in their sameness <br />Though with them not much in common you do share. <br /> <br />It is not that you are snobbish and conceited <br />Though far apart from them in ways you've grown <br />They do not see you now as one of their group <br />And no longer claim you as one of their own.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sameness/
