Questionable Much?
Hello my name is Ellaina, I am black, my hair is real.
I have a mom and a dad.
These are words I never thought I would have to say out loud to people.
But then again people in this world either doubt or assume.
I have questions
Why do we question people about who they are?
Sometimes I wish someone could lock my personality up.
It’s not like people pay attention to it anyways.
We might as well call the world Snapchat because everyone uses filters.
Our voices disappear in 24 hours.
Never to be heard of again. We put these filters over ourselves
to help us perceive what we want to see in our own way.
When really we should be focusing on others in life as if they’re endangered species.
But instead we all rome around the same exhibits.Our own kind.
Why do we do this? Why we believe the opinions of others?
Why don’t we follow our own gut?
But we always leave our feelings disregarded, maybe then we’ll realize why we’re
Re-really crazy.
Hopefully we can all be pencils one day,sometime in the future.
Standing tall or short erasing what is wrong, sharpening our points.
Yet there will always be those whom wish to remain permanent markers.
Having themselves bleed into the paper that isn’t theirs.
Still life is just one big piece of construction paper.
Everyone has their own styles of writing their stories.
Sharing what should be kept. Like, “OMG I just took my first step outside today, LOL”
While there will be people in the world that don’t share info with the people that care about them.
But if I plan to stay true, I might as well share with you that there will never be a day where we happily scream woo-hoo.
Because isn’t life questionable much?
I agree with you a lot on this one. It's sad that people are quick to judge you but don't even know your personality.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used snapchat as an example. Your poem also relates to you really good. It sounds just like you in a good way. Good Job!!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you used Snapchat because everyone uses that stuff and can relate to what you said. I really like how you said that people are like permanent markers and they bleed into paper that isn't yours, it's saying how they want to judge something that isn't theirs.
