Great?

Labels.

Discrimination.

Identity.

We are a society that is so oppessed with having no labels

Yet we have to label everything and everyone.

We say include everyone

yet leave it to everyone else to do the including.

We all want a place and nobody seems to make it.

People say be an individual

but we always hear what we are supposed to be or do.

Stand up

Don't stand up.

Speak out

Or be quiet.

We should not be afraid to truly be ourselves.

Society has become a walking mask.

Nobody can see each other.

We need to become a country that picks up people before we pick up phones.

Celebrate each other

Celebrate the diversity that made this nation the place of hope

Embrace other people and cultures.

Don't just say or post it or wear it

Be it!

When America begins to act out acceptance

Not use it as a cute line to make ourselves feel better

We will be great again.
