A Stereotype of Me

You thought you had me figured out Before you knew my name Cause you're you and you're unsatisfied That I am not the same You'll never change the way I love And you can fight for you're dominion But I'm worth a million times the weight Of a dogmatist's opinion I know that all that you can see Is a stereotype of me All that you thought I'd ever be Is a stereotype of me Did you ever think that you could see me Past the prejudice you hold I'm not the picture you created I'm not the things that you were told You're voice is long since dead to me I won't even be provoked When it hurt you to see me smile The things you said went up in smoke I know that all that you can see Is a stereotype of me All that you thought I'd ever be Is a stereotype of me By: Kyle Ezra Kriticos

Deep and emotive poem and one I enjoyed very much. Can you ever imagine a world free of prejudices and acceptance of all. Thanks for sharing your poem, I respect the right to be me (and you), regards, Kevin

'A stereotype of me' - I like that. It's insightful. How often our perceptions color our reception to peolpe and shedding off that first impression takes alot of effort. Very well written Kyle!
