Stereotypes.
Why can't I plunge into the
sharpened edges of
stereotypess
I let my pride get in the way
-again
Why can't I like what I like?
...because you're supposed to like them
But I like what I like
Just becuase I like them!
Does that even make sense?
No,
I guess I am just drunk
trying to fight these
stere-o-types.
But you see
You made-
- me this way.
With antagonizing views
of what I'm supposed to do.
I'm meant to be a mother
oh please, mind if I politely laugh in your face?
I can not even be bothered,
It isn't my place.
Maybe I'm selfish,
For wanting to be myself
for myself.
But myself has become a cage,
Am I fighting my DNA ?
Are my genes supposed to fit this way?
Don't let me drown in these stereotypes,
I'm already suffocating to fight them.
Something wrong with this poem?
