You are a Person.

This is what I said to a group of people when I was high school, honestly I was fed up with group not being able to get over there differences when I said this to them. I don't own the pic.

You are a Person.

Whether you are a emo,

Goth or Punk,

You are a person.

So please don't get drunk,

On the lies that are given

To bring you down.

But I get it-

Because sometimes,

We all want to drown.

You are what keeps

The world from getting lost.

You are what keeps-

You are different without a cost.

Your life isn't a cost

That you should pay-

Because they only hate

Who they are today.

Because the person they are

Didn't think they could change-

So they tried to change you

Because they thought you were strange-

But the truth is, you are strange,

And Weird, And odd,

But that's just cuz you are a person.

For that I applaud.

I love this poem, mostly because it speaks to me personally, but also because if this were to get out to all people in the world, it could change lives for the better. Keep writing. :)
