A List of What I Am Not

Society says;             

You are 17, 5 ,and 18 

You are 5 and 5                                                                                                                                         

You are 150  

You are 15 in 852                                                                                                                              

You are 4.560

I say: no                                                                                                                                                          

I am not my age in years, months or days                                                                                              

I am not my height in feet or inches                                                                                                     

I am not my weight in pounds or kilos                                                                                                        

I am not just one in 852 students                                                                                                                       

I am not my grades or some test score                                                                                              

I am not a measure of units                                                                                                                

I am not a number

I am a person                                                                                                                                   

You are a person                                                                                                                         

We are not numbers                                                                                                                       

And society can stop identifying us as such
