Not My Best Side - Life
Not one speaker in the poem is common in the traditional sense of their name. Looking at the main idea of the poem and connecting it to the meaning in life is that living in a long-established way of how things are done is boring and expected. It'd be much better to be unpredictable and live the way you want to, then live it in a way that you're supposed to. Living the way you're expected takes out the excitement and joy in life. Being spontaneous is much more fun.

I'm not sure this poem is about "being spontaneous", but the difference between appearance and reality: we view things according to societal dictated, "This is how things are suppose to be", but these views are rarely correct.
