Similarest, Differentest, Lostest
what’s different between you and I?
is it our hair color, our skin color?
or could it be our eyes or how tall we are?
maybe it’s the fact am a girl and you’re a boy
But does that define us?
no
so what does?
could it be our personality? yes
what about the way we express ourselves? yes
or maybe how we refer to ourselves?
could our friends define us?
maybe our family?
should we let these factors define us?
no
so who or what gets the right to define us?
you, me, him, her, them?
the world? society? social media?
when do we have the right to take away those rights from people?
never
we are built to fit those definitions society and social media give us
our generation is run by stereotypes and ideas about how we should be
we try to fit in but lose our true selves little by little
at the end of the day we are what we are told to be
but at what point do we get the right to define ourselves?
