Boxes

You know what I mean

The things society tries to cage us in with

You know what I mean

The assumptions

Oh you're this so you must do that and act like this

Male or Female check one

But the truth is,

No one really fits in those boxes

Those little traps meant to cage us in and describe us in 5 words or less

Those boxes

They're all a sham

A useless catorgorizer

Because no one fits in boxes

No one belongs in one or the other

Why?

Because every single one of us is a multifaceted gem of likes and dislikes

Goals and ideals

Achievements and failures

Sexualities and orientations

Genders and body types

There are so many facets to an identity

How can you cram people into neat labeled organized boxes when we're all so different

Some of us burst out in an explosion of bright colors and music

Others in bursts of dark colors and whispers

And so many more

Some came forth in blasts of spray paint and playlists blasted through speakers at top volume

Still more tunneled out through the back, digging their way out with metal spikes and colorful mohawks

Even more shouted and sang their way out, refusing to be seen and not heard

There are so many facets of personality

We don't fit in boxes

We don't belong in boxes

So stop trying to shove us in

Stop letting your children jeer at others for letting their inner beauty shine

Stop putting down people for being different.

Because we're all unique and we'll never be exactly the same.

We don't fit in boxes

And we never will

So stop

No more boxes

We're done

Even if you keep the boxes

What makes you think we'll fit in them

You don't fit in them

So why should we try to?

We don't need these boxes

Because we just burst right back out if them

Bye bye boxes

I'm done pretending to fit
