The poem, “Society Today,” questions the fine line that society places between being normal and different. The poem is formed of four stanzas each stanza increasing in more stanza than the last. The first stanza starts with four verses and it increases from there and this creates a physical shape for the poem. The poem starts off talking about how those who are seen to be different are given a disapproving look by those who act and dress the same. “Where everyone wants to be unique. But if someone seems odd, you hate them,” are two verses that portray the irony of society’s ways of how it encourages individuality through media and education, but at the same time people look down upon those who are seen to be different.  The poet also questions if there is anything wrong with being different which leads to the feelings of people in society of how no one wants to conform to what the majority of the population does.  The last two lines, “Tell me, what is ‘normal.’ But what is different?” leave the audience to think about if society can actually distinguish someone as normal or different. The message the poet is trying to convey is that there is no definition for being normal as everyone varies from one another and should not try to be the same and classify themselves as normal. Just because a large majority of the population acts the same way and dresses the same way does not mean it is correct.
