Do you know me?
Do you actually look beyond my face?
Do you try to know the person,
Behind which clothes I wear?
Beyond the badges on my jacket?
Beyond the shell I live in?
Or do you just condemn me?
By the first glance.
Judge me?
Slot me into a category?
Into a judgmental group?
Which one will it be this time?
Freak?
Loner?
Loser?
Geek?
Emo?
All are things that I've been called before.
Do you care about who I am?
About what kind of person I may be?
No.
You take one glance and that's all you need.
To slot me into a group.
To abandon any other impressions I may make on you to the judgements of one word.
It's very inspiring (:
Me.
