Differences

Wed, 03/12/2014 - 15:52 -- mkd98

Imagine a perfect world

a perfect society 

where everyone was successful 

life wasn't stressful 

and people were all the same

 

See, it sounded good

until that last line

“and people were all the same”

Like we all have the same name

and life is just one big game

where we all follow the rules

get treated like pack mules

but you see our differences make us 

its what makes this world so unique

so beautiful some would say

 

But, if that really makes the world so 

“beautiful”

Why is it

that people get judged which will

in some cases

lead to their funeral 

 

this world is full of hypocrites

and selfish pricks

and we all know 

a stuck up bitch

that makes us sick

Who makes us feel like we aren’t worth shit

 

I apologize for the language but

I’m just venting

I’m tired of living in a world 

where being a bully is trending
suicidal rates are ascending

so lets stop pretending

like everything is fine

Research shows that 

bully victims compared to non-victims are 

more likely to consider suicide by 5 times

 

Everyone is different

not everyone can be as

“perfect as you”

so we need to take a big step

and learn to accept

according to Taylor Swift

we are lucky enough to be different 

and we should never change 

 

we all know that our differences vary in range

but who are you to consider when someone is strange? 

maybe they're normal

and you're actually just deranged…   

and maybe now your opinion has changed

 

Diversity is what makes this 

world so 

exciting 

They tend to open you up to new things

without even trying

So why do people treat them 

as a nuisance 

Like people get a kick out of it

and do it for amusement

 

All in all, we should embrace our distinctions 

be accepting

take time to meet new people

converse and look at each others views

and you never know 

they may not

be far different from you

 

Thanks
