Why do we try to define others?
We try to categorize people
By their looks,
By their intelligence,
By their style,
And by their personality.

We automatically place a person in
A certain category just by one glance,
By just one word,
And by just one action.

Then I ask, why can't we categorize
Ourselves then?
It's because we think that we're special,
That we ourselves can't be defined,
But we are being defined by those,
Around us,
By those we love,
And by those we have yet to meet.

Define but don't categorize.
Speak but listen.
Hear but understand.
See but don't judge.
Fly but don't fall.
Follow but don't ever lose who you are.
