    I'm really sad that this poem hasn't gotten more attention, it has a really incredible message.

    I think personall the structure and lines could use a little work, and if you'd like I can give you my suggestions..

    However the content and your wording are really beautiful here. I love the little bouts of rhyming throughout, you didn't keep a specific scheme with it but the pacing is spot on. I love how you keep saying "you say I'm this, but this can't be this, and I'm THIS anyway!". It's proof that we get pigeon holed into generalities and can't escape. Oh you're a girl, you must do/be this way. Oh you're into xyz, you must abcd. Instead of just being who we are, we have to be like everyone else (which is ironic, because everyone tries to be SO different... just like the others :D )

    This was really a beautiful and thought provoking read. I'm really glad I stumbled over it!
