People think themselves better, other people lower.
Asians are automatically smart; African-Americans suddenly athletes
Fitted into a mold, like cookie dough.
But people arent cookies; And we arent made of dough.
Were not all cut from the same cloth
Nor are we all made in the same fashion
We are unique individuals, all very different from each other
Just like you are not automatically like another because of skin
All fat people are not jolly, all short people are not shy
All tall people are not athletes, all handicapped people do not cry
Red hair does not mean temper, blond hair does not mean stupidity
Away with the stereotypes; Its time to view people as they are
Why do we create these molds, using them everyday.
Why cant we tell that people are different, that theyre unique and special?
I dont know why.
But maybe you can tell me the answer. The simple answer to the question: Why
