Stereotype

In life we find ourselves
being served with many choices....
And find ourselves hearing completely
different voices...

first you have your
home, trying to be perfect.
Then you have your town,
trying to fit into the crowd...
next comes society faking it all
and cloning you to be the same...
Then you get the world,
telling you that
you're nothing and then
straight after telling you
to go out there and do something...

The choices that are given are so seldom
those of your own...
the choices that you make
are risks that you are willing to take...
To be different is seen as a crime...

they say to
the girl who has premarital sex
"you're going to go to hell"
to the boy who goes around
the corner for a quick fix
"soon it will be you on the street who chooses to sell"
To the divorced woman
"you wont succeed"
To the goth girl
"you have a need to bleed"

The stereotypes go on
I can't even begin to name them all
but something the world doesn't
understand, is its making its people feel so small
and telling them that there is just no hope
unless they are what they are made out to be
their lives are just a joke...

To be punk, goth anarchist
or what ever you shouldn't have to be labeled
For what the world doesn't understand
is that the girl who chooses to have premarital sex
was raped,
it wasn't her choice to do it
but that was just a stereotype society had
to make...
The boy who goes around the corner
for a quick fix,
is trying to escape the abuse of his father...
by escaping before the pain extends any further...
The divorced woman
is strong and independent,
her husband left the day she
walked in and found him
with another man in their bed...
if only society knew what
went through her head...
The goth girl who is said to cut...
Is doing this because
she was called a "slut"

So next time you choose to stereotype
just think of what goes on in
that persons life...
