Since I have
this hair color
I must be stupid.
Because I wear this
I am "emo".
Because I like this
I am weird.
Because I read
I am a nerd.
Because I don't do this
I am a loser.
Because I was in a bad mood
I am a horrible person.
Why does everyone
have to have a stereotype?
Here,
I have the perfect one for me:
Just Me.
So stop trying to label me,
And just accept me the way I am,
That's all I ever wanted.
