Stereotypical Mindset

Stereotypical Mindset

A Poem by C.C. Marx
"

I can't stand stereotypes, we are all unique and different, we can't be placed in categories

"

Everyone always thinks

A certain way

As if the characteristics

That come with labels

Are set in stone

That everyone

Falls into a specific group

But what if

I don’t fall into category?

What if I

Break the stereotype?

Is it so wrong

To be unique?

Just because

I’m good at one thing

Does that mean

I can’t be good at another?

I won’t be boxed in

I won’t change myself

To fit a stereotypical mindset.

I agree with you. There's nothing more insane then a stereotype! Everyone's completely different.

Haha THANK YOU for reviewing!!!! I'm glad you understand, not boxes for anyone
yes. i hate stereotypes and I honestly tend to think less of people who live by them. I know friends who joke on stereotypes, but when i meet someone who is absolutely, honestly surprised to find that I don't go shopping all the time or that I don't stare in a mirror when I walk by one just because I'm a girl, or I don't hate Jews just because I'm German, or I don't do whatever just because of some stupid stereotype, I'm insulted. and I show it :P it's more fun to be unpredictable and unlabeled anyway. Stereotypes are shallow and stupid.

I know how this is. I've broken the steryotypes, and it feels so nice to break the label. Before, I was a steryotype. I was a teacher's pet. Then I was "the new guy" for awhile. Now, I'm different, and unlabled. It's very nice! Well written my freind!

Great piece, thought provoking and has excellent points :) Let's just be unique, not ''labeled'' We are people not things, we shouldnt need or have labels, we are uniquely made not factory pressed.
