I am the d u m b blonde
Brain empty
Like the inside of a hollow paint can.
Face smiling. Hair straight. Heart dying

I am the JOCK
Arms big
Like a bull but stronger.
Hands catching. Points scoring. Pill using

I am the Ne rD
Eyes glassified
Like two black magnifying telescopes.
Smart talking. Well mannered. Test cheating

I am the S T E R E O T Y P E
Vastly opinionated
Like a kid obsessed with a favorite football team.
Quick to judge. Slow to praise. Always lying

The author's comments:
Stereotypes are quick to judge. Little do many realize that stereotypes can hurt people. Labels like dumb blond, jock, and nerd cause many people to feel the need to measure up or fit the image. Please think twice before labeling someone because of what they look like on the outside before you get to know what they're really like on the inside.
