There are times
I’m not a female,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t male
I’m not a black,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a white
I’m not immortal,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t mortal
I’m not a doubter,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a believer
I’m not a conservative,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a liberal
I’m not a saint,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t sinful
I’m not ignorant,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t learned
I’m not implicit
But there are times
I wish I weren’t explicit
I’m not an Islamic,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a Christian
I’m not an animal,
But there are times
I wish I weren’t a human
I’m not in
But there are times
I wish I weren’t out
I’m not lonely
But there are times
I wish I weren’t the opposite
I’m not you
But there are times
I wish I weren’t me
… Still, there are times
I am the opposite
Of the opposite of me

Don’t confuse my personality with my attitude.
My personality is who I am.
My attitude depends on who you are.

That’s the problem with stereotyping people. We are complex individuals and we always have the ability to choose to change for better and for worse. Really love this piece, Kenne.
Wonderful and touching, both picture and words. Thank you.
Fantastic insight!
