Who Am I?
Who am I to follow what everyone else does? Who am I to speak my mind? Who am I?
Who are you to say fit in? To promote being average or even stand out for attention? Where are the people who are true to themselves?
I have realized I have been sucked into a void of never ending, always changing "He said, she said, love isn't fair, this is in, this is out," world, no place to be yourself, am I right?
I am the one who holds out on most of my thoughts, on most of my opinions, because I will be criticized, catergorized, and rejected by society.
We are blind. We cannot see that when we tell people to be themselves half of them decide to be someone else in fear of rejection from their community.
Where is the hope? The only hope to bring back originality is to be yourself and be true to yourself 100% of the time, because even they, even the "jocks" or "preps" or "emos" or "nerds" can't label you because there isn't a single word that even begin to describe your complex or single unique personality - who you really are?
But once in a blue moon there is a person, a person who is real, a person who doesn't have an ego, who doesn't care about being popular, or pretty, or nitced, they are who they are and people get shocked, curious, or even angry, possibly because they don't know why they don't want to fit in.
Who wants to fit in in a world of strange, abnormal, mysterious places? Who wants to be the wallpaper of the White House or a rare place? Who wants to be the attention-getter and be rebellious and just get attention? I know I cannot truly be myself or else I'd be called an attention-getter.
I want to speak my mind. I do. I want to stand up and say this isn't right. I want to. I will. Because from now on, I am not going to follow the crowd. I am not going to hold out on my thoughts. I am going to be, for once in a long time, me.
I am me. Who are you?
