Y=m(x)+Me


Life is an algebraic equation
No matter what numbers I plug in X will never be isolated 
Because numbers change on a daily basis
And what they have to say affects each and everyone of our faces

I will no longer let numbers define me
I am more than the number on the scale
I am more than my average gpa
I am more than my height that makes me tower over others or become lost in the crowd 
I am more than the digits I receive every week

I am more than numbers; I am a human being 
And I will not let math control me
I will plug in humanity for X and watch the world unravel 
Watch society lose their mind because they no longer have control over our minds 
I'll watch life bloom 
Because it finally is up to me 
And not the opinions of everybody
