Stop Copying Me

Isn't it great to have an identity of your own?
"There's no one like you."
Like the flower anemone?
It's true.
Having your own identity is amazing.
Being different than those 'few'.

But what happens when,
someone copies your style?
Annoying...
I am an autophile.

I don't see what they get when they copy me,
it's like being an ocean,
and they become your sea.
The Ocean is authentic,
bigger, and stronger.
But the sea is where-
all the people gather.

Shame...the ocean unwillingly drains into the sea,
the sea which ultimately survives because of the ocean.
It would be impossible to feel,
the waves of the sea.
If it didn't drain off from the ocean.

I stand by my values,
stand by my faith.
I know myself,
you're just an eighth.

You're just a clone.
I change with time,
you commit crimes-
by thieving an identity.
I am River Nile,
you are a copy-o-phile.
