Why confrom?

I didn't follow the new trends
As a result, I had no friends
I was continuously criticised
It was part of the desperado's exercise

Fake personalities surrounded me
Like the forceful currants of the mighty sea
I enjoyed being a distinctive individual
But did that make me an atrocious criminal?

Why does everyone cower from being themselves
You should be true to yourself
Do what you want to do
Frankly, just be you

I pity the ones who comply to social rules
Simply because they are fools
They are just flimsy minions
Without any substantial opinions

I desperately want to know
Why people go with the flow
Does it make them cooler
Or even a worthy ruler

So can you please enlighten me
This is my only plea
Maybe I can finally understand
Why conforming is so grand
