"You see this is where it all begins. The need to be accepted. Where being considered "different" is just like being disrespected. I learned quickly that assimilation helps get rid of awkward tension, just do whatever is consider "in" IN order to be accepted. But you see in elementary school I was not white enough and in middle school I was not black enough, so let me tell you what. You can keep your titles because I have had enough. I no longer require permission to be who I am and I am sick of wasting my breath if you do not already understand that we are all unique whether you like it or not so do not put me in a box because I will just break the locks. I defeat stereotypes on a daily basis, a genius in baggy jeans, oh you should see their faces, but I am just me. I do not know how to be somebody else, so love me or hate me, as long as you do it by yourself. I pity the cool crowd because your personalities need help and you are just too insecure to think by yourself, but I've been there, done that, and got the free t-shirt. The one we all wear because originality is just like a big secret. But I refuse to conform to your capitalist mentality, where we all watch the same meaningless crap on TV and where little girls confess their sins to a toilet bowl, shedding pounds from the cuticles, because somebody lied and said that becoming a toothpick was beautiful? And in school they always said that loving math would help, but I never once learned how to love myself. But hey, I guess better late than never, because honestly, I have never felt better. So please, take a moment to reflect on who you are. And when I say who you are, I do not mean WHAT you are. Because what you are has already been decided from up above and God did a perfect job so please show him some love. And if most of you do not agree with everthing you just heard me say, then you just helped me prove my point. So thank you very much, and have a great day." - Boonaa Mohammed
