Just because I’m a complex maze without a center or exit
Doesn’t mean I don’t cooperate,
Doesn’t mean I can’t accept others,
Doesn’t mean I only care for myself.
…
Just because I’m a Gen-Z
Doesn’t mean my voice matters less than the majority,
Doesn’t mean you can ignore me like a broken seashell by the sea,
Doesn’t mean I will sit and let you run your mouth off.
…
Just because empathetic
Doesn’t mean you can play me like a game of Sorry,
Doesn’t mean you can run through me like the finish line in a track race,
Doesn’t mean you can hurt me.
…
Just because I’m a procrastinator
Doesn’t mean I don’t get work done,
Doesn’t mean I’m a mindless, hopeless imbecile.
Doesn’t mean I don’t understand urgency.
…
Just because I look indifferent about others
Doesn’t mean I am not hurt by your judgment,
Doesn’t mean I don’t know the pain of longing for warmth,
Doesn’t mean I can’t help someone when they’re down.
…
I’m a complex maze without a center or exit…
…
So why do people love to judge others and their lives based on one interaction?
Why do we tell people to be themselves when we can’t do it-
and end up judging them because we couldn’t be vulnerable?
…
Why are we such hypocrites, two-timing, two-faced creatures?
We’re all complex people in distinctive and unique ways
So can you please stop this maddening charade?
