Stereotypes
September 23, 2014
I write
But I am not a writer.
I draw
But I am not an artist.
I read
But I am not a reader.
I am not a subject in your
Categorization
I am not a participant of your
Stereotypes
I do not play a role in your
Labels
I am free of your judgments
Please don’t harass me with your
Standards
Your preconceived notion that all things lie in
One, big, endless pile of formulas
That add up to be more or less the same
Does not apply to me.
You can take your formulas
And your opinions and labels and categories
And stuff them where you want
But not down my throat
Because I am not
Part
Of
That.

I wrote this after feeling judgment not only from my peers, but from society...we do not have to be labeled, instead we can just be people.
