" Be yourself, everybody else is taken." - Oscar Wilde.


Be a man, don’t cry
These are the stereotypes that we live by
To cry shows weakness
What would our world be like if men and women could feel the same?
And we just were.
We live in a world that is constantly changing
So why can’t we change these gender role expectations?
Expression is how we communicate
Let’s educate the right for our expression
There is no law restricting how people should act
Let’s not attack
People who are choosing to express themselves
We should love one another for what he/she chooses to be.
Stop with the hatred and let’s just be.

I am doing a synthesis journal in my English class where we have entries and we need to get a certain amount of points. We are learning about identity for 3 months for our last unit and I decided to write this.
