Stereotypes restrict us
Cage us into prison cells
We fall victim
to their cold harsh truth
But is it really the truth??
Is it our truth?
Is it yours??
If you want better
more than the life
with orange jumpsuits
If you really are worth it,
Worth more than a life in a 6 by 8...
Define yourself
ignore the whispers that tempt you
gently attempting
to make you cross the line
The line between
right from wrong
justice and pure revenge
A line preventing you
from becoming a monster
Define yourself and choose to
ignore the gift baskets,
loaded with chaos and insecurities
the haters eagerly give out
They only mean to bring you

~ Have you ever had so many things to do and no energy to do them??
Yes. Right now. And instead of doing what I am suppose to be doing, here I am writing and posting new poems.
Proudly procrastinating,
