Today, letters define our generation

Our worth, intelligence, and who we are

Stereotypes are prominent but shortened

to a simple line structure invented by society

As if a percentage of the population fit in boxes

Labeled from A to F

Conformity is a requirement,

not a choice.

Nothing is ever a choice.

“To make life easier,” they say.

So, we can either squirm along, uncomfortable and exhausted,

or risk our future to not be a slave to stress.

You cannot choose both.

I’m confused at the fork in the road.

Pondering, hoping for a revelation to appear out of my issues.

If you don’t spot me at that schism,

Try a different angle,

And look for the third path.
