Stereotypical Mindset

I can't stand stereotypes, we are all unique and different, we can't be placed in categories

Everyone always thinks

A certain way

As if the characteristics

That come with labels

Are set in stone

That everyone

Falls into a specific group

But what if

I don’t fall into category?

What if I

Break the stereotype?

Is it so wrong

To be unique?

Just because

I’m good at one thing

Does that mean

I can’t be good at another?

I won’t be boxed in

I won’t change myself

To fit a stereotypical mindset.

Sweet *fist pumps* I'm so proud of myself I think I deserve a piece of pie :p

[Tarry Franck]

This is so true...sad but true. Glad you put this on paper. I've thought of such things but haven't touched the subject. You did a wonderful job.

[C.C. Marx]

Thank you very much tarry I'm glad u liked it

[Tarry Franck]

My pleasure :)

[Relic]

I can identify with this. I'm Irish so people assume I drink which I don't. People are put into categories too often and some are surprised when others turn out to be the opposite from what they expected.

[C.C. Marx]

Interesting relation and I for example am an athlete and for that sole reason alone people believe I am incapable of being intelligent and a writer

[Relic]

They're wrong.

[C.C. Marx]

Thank u I'm glad someone else sees my logic

[Relic]

I do. ;)

[C.C. Marx]

Sometimes people make judgments that make no since for I mean I'm athletic but not dumb, I took algebra two as a freshman for God sake

[Relic]

People are like that and always will be. I wouldn't let it get to you too much.

[C.C. Marx]

I try not I wish people would get to know people before they starting labelling

[Relic]

I know what you mean.

[C.C. Marx]

But its hypocritical of me to say because ive done the same thing though I try not to, judging is part of human nature u could argue

[Tomi]

TRUE That! so so true..Love it! Well done :)

[C.C. Marx]

Thank sooooooo much!! :)

[Frieda P]

Nice work, nothing worse than labels and trying to fit in, if you can't be you, who can?

[C.C. Marx]

Good point no two people are alike thanks for reviewing

[A little twist]

Thank you for making this, for i have relation, why cant i be different why cant i do what i do and you do what you do? You described this concept perfectly :) THANK YOU! :)

[C.C. Marx]

No THANK YOU for reviewing and understanding what I was trying to say :)

[A little twist]

[Siren]

I really like the way your writing tackles hard issues. You do a great job not getting bogged down by subject matter but rather shining a light where others walk in the dark. Wonderful work, I look forward to reading more!

[C.C. Marx]

Thanks so much for reviewing I really appreciate what you have to say :)

[Siren]

always welcome (:

[EllenMichelle29]

Another strong message in such a small and short poem. You have written this one beautifully and you deserve all the credit you get.
Great stuff

[C.C. Marx]

Awwww thanks for such a kind review

[EllenMichelle29]

Your welcome :)

[Erinne S.]

I absolutely loved this! I agree with every word you wrote!
Everyone nowadays thinks that they have to fit into a specific mold and be perfcet in other's eyes. I find that so untrue. It is better to be yourself and who you want to strive to be, instead of conforming to other's opinions of who you should be. Thank you for sharing this. It is definitely a must-read for a lot of people out there.

[C.C. Marx]

Thanks for the review Erinne :)

[Erinne S.]

You're welcome :)

I think people's minds are trained to think a certain way, and it rejects anything new that comes around. Everything in this world is stereotyped and set in place, and its hard to try to stand out sometimes. I suppose there is a point where you have to stop caring what others may think, and pursue what you want. Good write.

[C.C. Marx]

Thank you and your right, you cant control what people think of you so there is no point in worrying about it
