Here is another poem I wrote. One thing I forgot to say in the last one, is that these poems (until I say otherwise) should be read in a story-telling sort of way, not a casual sing-song poetic tone.

DIFFERENCE

What was that phrase you learnt when you were younger?
Nobody is the same.
Maybe it had more meaning to it?
Maybe it wasn't referring to people's looks.
The stuff they couldn't teach you.
Depression.
Sexual preferrence.
Race.
There was a message within that message.
Don't judge.
If you judge, you'll be judged.
Who cares if they are gay? Who cares if they are bisexual?
Who gives two shits if they are black, or if they are asian.
Here's a quote from a poem much like this one:
"They can't choose who they are."
I disagree.
Who cares if you are black?
You can still be who you want.
You cares if you are gay?
You can still be who you want.
There are differences within everyone on the planet.
Don't let others get you down.
Don't let people judge.
It's hard to not put people in stereotypes. We do it all the time. It's inevitable.
But it's what you take from those stereotypes.
It's what you make from it.
If stereotypes change how to view that particular person,
you are a bad person.
But if you accept who they are, if you believe in them,
you are a good person.

So it might not be as good as the last one, so I wrote another just to satisfy craves :). This one is more philosophy (I believe that's the word), but still counts as a poem in my opinion. It's also my answer to the meaning of life.

MEANING OF LIFE

What is the meaning of life?
A question asked by so many.
How can we know the meaning of life?
A question answered by few.
But that's exactly correct.
It cannot be answered.
Everybody has a different answer.
The meaning of life isn't a question. It is a variable.
It is a letter in an algebraic equation.
It could be anything.
And depending on what it is, it changes the end.
For some people, the answer is a person.
Someone you couldn't live without.
Someone you know who needed you, to make the sum correct.
For others, it might be a goal.
Something you need to achieve.
Something you cannot die without having done.
For few, the answer has not been found.
They are still chasing it.
It might be around the corner.
It might be in front of them.
It might be under their nose.
But they still chase it.
So what is the meaning of life?
The meaning of life is simple.
It's whatever you want it to be.

So judge away, all criticism is appreciated and feedback considered.
