Inspired by a little sentence I saw on Tumblr**

You are not a poem, nor are you a song.

You are not the characters in a book or the idiots you see on tv.

You are not a word or a sentence, a comma or a simile;

you are not "the smoke rolling off of your tongue like your cigarette."

Your life is not a movie, but it is a grand adventure.

You are flesh and bone, plasma and eye lash and minerals such.

You are thoughts and motions and actions and emotions.

You are not a waste of space.
