Best Stereotype Poems

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...

"Not everyone who drinks is a poet ... some of us drink because we're NOT poets" -  Dudley Moore, "Arthur"



Not all poets are lonely and envied, apart,
       Broken, dark souls straining for light, outspoken and proud.

Not all musicians...

A pair of monolid eyes, and I’m academically enlightened.
As if I’m some talented prodigy on his way to an Ivy League.
Able to quickly solve problems without ever breaking a sweat.
Absolutely - perfect - in every single subject I decide to take on.
Always an A+, an...

Statistics show an epidemic
A problem at hand
the statistics are looking at me.




They say that my education is an unattainable, unfathomable, distant goal
That a life on the streets is the farthest I will ever go.
They say that my qualifications will limit my achievements,
They say I will...

Live by Stereotype,
Die by Stereotype,
Living superficially with double standards,
Racism, sexism, Haters,
Hating on who you want to be,
Who you were,
and who you are,
Biasing opinions on bad examples,
Not wanting to learn the truth,
The truth silently hiding behind the exterior,
The reality,
Blind to looks,
Based on actions, attitudes, and personality,
Based...

Life of a stereotype me not
Doing the actions I forgot
Like freezing when I should be hot
Digressing your opinion of a plot
Doing little when expected of a lot 
If I don’t have it, then what do I got
A loose rope with a knot
Or cold piss in...

While I appreciate the vacation
it would have been better if it were paid.
Funds lessened by nature’s aggravation,
lends credence to the starved artist charade....

I was told I am a "typical black female stereotype"
I grew up without my biological father??... My uncle was my dad.
Despite this fact I am certain he his the best father figure anyone has ever had.

Joke I will bomb you,
Offend my faith, god and I
I threaten you with death?

Am I what joke says?
Offend my faith, god and I
I threaten you with death?

I am not this way,
Offend my faith, god and I,
I threaten you with death?

I want peace and love
Offend my...

Tell me—
Did you fear the
Rumors?
About me, us, ilk?
Greedy and needy and yearning
For what you
Cannot give us!

I’m her—your
Worst fear
Given flesh.
Insatiable, hungry
Consumed with a need no
One can meet.

I mean it. No one. Biologically impossible.

I do want it all.

In me, around me, on me,
Breathe in the smell of...

Forget everything you have heard about stereotyping the pigs.
I met some the other day, who were cleaner than my cousin Jigs.
They vacuumed and dusted the barnyard until it was clean enough to eat.
Then they cleaned out the barn, until it was ridiculously spotlessly neat.

Forget about...

Angel?
Demon?
Faerie?
Witch?
Random labels
None apply.
We are all changelings
Pure and simple
Or complicated and unpure
Depending upon the mood, the moment, and our momentous events.
Divorce, death, cancer, car wrecks, they all take a toll on us.
Changing us completely in one second.
Giving us a perspective we never had before.
Showing us that...

Ebony blue-eyed dragon of fierceness with green iridescent wings,
How do you hide in the night sky?
Not easily, she replied, but it can be done, if you are true to your kind.
Better when it is foggy, and when other dragons are not about,
for this is when...
