why?

why?

A Poem by Onlyme

Why are you not allowed
to be different from the crowds
to be a punk rocker, a hippy
a goth and so many other
ways to express yourself
by a select few.

It's like if your are
different you are bad
instead of you are
just expressing
yourself the way
you wish and want.

As long as you are not
hurting anyone, what
is the problem?

Instead they get killed
or abused like what
happened to a young
gothic couple, the lad
survived but the girl
got killed. All because
they wore black
clothing.

life can be tough... the stigma or stereotype attached to one's identity always gives lasting impression especially to people with shallow thoughts

I always say to my kids when they ask why- because pigs don’t fly in the month of July? Some things well never understand why and why people are so judgemental and cruel- hopefully one day we’ll understand-🌹

I love individuality. Who wants to be a clone of everyone else. Our Robbie is gothic. His clothes suit him. There are so many hateful people about. Live and let live. Fine lines Dawn
