DifferentA Poem by A. V. MadisonA spoken word I wrote and was sitting here unpublished for months because I was always too afraid to post it, but Jamillet's spoken word gave me the confidence to :)
I look at people although they are fonts.
Each entirely different, each entirely the same. They are capable of posting the same abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz but they all look different. they are just FOnTs. Every emotion coming out. every emotion coming out but in different ways and different meanings and different thoughts and different words and different people. You wouldn't know this about different? if you stand in front of a mirror and say the word different over and over again different different different different different different different different different different different then it starts kind of sounding like mush, doesn't it?It sounds different than the normal word. because it is. it is DiFfErEnT. they tell us in school that it's okay to be different and that being different helps you change the rules and being different makes the world a better place because people love the idea of different but don't like different PEOPLE. WE WANT TO FIT IN, BUT SOCIETY DOESN'T ALLOW different PEOPLE TO JOIN THEIR RANKS AND BE THE SAME. i don't want to go to school, because there i am i don't want my children to go to school someday and scrutinized because they are different and i don't want my grandchildren to be put through that either. your parents tell you that it's okay to not fit in because you are unique, but it's not. maybe it was when they were in school but it's not the same anymore. it's not until one of us commits suicide until you actually listen to what we have to say because i said it before i will say it again being different gets you either shoved in a corner and ignored or doomed to a life of solitude because no one really wants to be friends with someone who is different.
