That Puzzling Pull

I never understand its primal pull


 
The singular urgency that others find


 
To be alike, or


 
Typical, and considered normal


 

But what exactly is it?


 

For how long


 

And in whose story?


 

Is typical admirable and strong


 

Or is it simply the easiest place to stay?


 

Keep your head down and blend in.


 

I have never been able


 

Nor have I ever sought its complacency.
