be yourself
they say.
it's okay to be yourself
everyone is different.
unique some might say.
each have their own personality.
their own selves
what a bunch of
****
everyone i've met is eerily the same.
it's the same tone,
same pace
all is
bleak
dull
deafeningly irritating.
where have the passionate, the thoughtful
the mysterious, the brooding
the tortured, the observant
gone?
nothingness
they say we are intelligent
as a species
but i look around
we are only as intelligent
as we make of life
make from life
and
i say
we aren't reaching
the fullest potential
a species,
us can reach.
should reach.
instead of reaching for
mutual respect
of our similar differents,
love
we reach for violence
war
between each other
our brothers and sisters
who breathe the same air
who bleed
the same
we ****
our own kind
instead of mutual respect
so this is why
our different
isn't any different
my different
is no different than
their different
different
is not
different enough.

thoughts and prayers go out to all the tragedies that have occurred over the summer, but also in these last few years. when will it be time for us to accept and move on with life. just respect and love. that's it.
