Steryotypes

When you look at me You instantly stereotype My glassses My skin color You can probably guess I’m book smart You’d be right You can guess I’m introverted You’d be semi right You can guess I’m not naturally very athletic You’d be right You can guess my ethnicity You’d probably be right You can guess a lot of things And there’s a high chance you’d be right for many of them But... What about those things, You’d never guess? I bet you’d never believe I was a Goalie You probably don’t know I write poetry I’m learning Chinese I ran six miles in fifth grade I enjoy acting I’m an atheist I have a mild obsession with Asian light novels The list goes on... But still, The point here is There’s a lot of things you don’t see About me About everyone I’m just as guilty of judging as anyone else We humans tend to categorize, A lot ... But, It’s Often Not True
