Living My Life Defeating a Stereotype

It is not I

you detest

Personally anyway

Our relationship is not deep enough 

for that

Yet the sting I feel

From each breath and opinion

Is striking

and truly imminent

What you abhor,

with ignorant judgment,

Is a group that came before me

A clone of my title

but not my being

Place your arguments on those individuals

Please

The ones you have closely partnered with

Instead of 

pushing thoughts of hatred

on me.
