I dare you
To tell me to be something I'm not
Go on, say it
Tell me to hide the truth
From all of those I love

I dare you
To tell me to grow up
Go on, say it
Tell me I'm childish
Because you're so much more mature than me

I dare you
To tell me who I can and cannot love
Go on, say it
Tell me that loving certain people is wrong
Because your way of thinking is so right

I dare you
To tell me I'm not normal
Go on, say it
Tell me that I'm different
Even though you and I are both humans

You could do all of that
In a heartbeat if you wanted to
But here's a real challenge:
I dare you
To accept everyone for who they are
Not for who you want them to be
And to leave your judging gavel
At home for once
I had writer's block for a little while but I think I've gotten over it for now lol. Anyways, people these days. I know I say that a lot, but it's true! Some of the people I've met are the most judgmental and unaccepting human beings this world has to offer. And I say that with all due to respect. I've met some people who have told me to be someone different because they didn't like the ugly truth. Some have told me to act differently because they didn't like my behavior. And the list goes on.

Can we all just make a little promise right here saying that we won't judge others and we'll accept them? *raises hand* I promise :meow:

This sends a really good message out there, it's heart breaking some people act like this judging people, but your poem shows we have to stand up, fight back, show we have some type of rule even if we are selves don't see it. I love this so much! Keep up the good work!

 

Also, I did a poem myself, and I want your opinion on if it's good or not.

 

Awesome work, keep it up!!!:) (Smile)
