I am not responsible. That's just it, I am Not Responsible. Miss Not Responsible. First name, Not, Last name, Responsible. So, I'm Miss Not Responsible. My friend is Miss Not Popular. My other friend is Miss Not Straight. Another, Miss Not Skinny. And Miss Not Talented. Miss Not Kind. Miss Not Smart. Miss Not A Virgin. Miss Not Respectable. Miss Not A Person.
Well, it's lies. All of it. It's what you think at a glance. It's the dirt you put on people you don't even know. It's the lies that pile up into a deep mask of what you believe this person is. Covers are horrid. Some, aren't even put on by ourselves. It's like, if you were a book and your author, you, didn't pick the cover.
People do it to feel good about themselves. Notice how every cover people put on others is a bad one. So that makes them feel good that they aren't like that person. When the person herself isn't like that person that they were labeled as.
I can't say that I have been excluded from this madness. I can't say that I have been the most respectable person. That I haven't put these covers on people myself. Whore. Slut. Prep. Stupid. The words that come out of my mouth are the same as yours. Goth. Emo. Loser. Dork. Cheerleader. Bimbo. Blonde. Ugly. Short. Nerd. Jock. Gay. Brainiac. Crazy!
Where's the courage for a girl who wears all black to go up to a girl in a miniskirt and say, “Hi!” Without any malice. Any contempt. Just someone trying to be friendly. And it's not just girls either. I don't see some sport jock going up to a gay guy and going, “Hey man, how's it going?”
What is wrong with people? What is wrong with you? What is wrong with me? When did it become so integrated into our brains that the fact that somebody who likes the color pink is going to stab me in the back? When did I become a goth? And when did you become a prep?
When did it happen that people who wear pink and miniskirts suddenly love sex, and boyfriends and making rumors about each other? And hate these losers who talk about anime and games all day and all gay.
When did it happen that people who wear all black and have hair in front of their eyes suddenly become these people who are all gay and are nerds and love imaginary people? And hate these preps who love sex and making rumors about everyone.
When did society create foul pictures for people. Why is there always a “mean girl”? There is never a girl who is mean, and truly enjoys it. I know, when I'm mean to someone else, it feels good at the time to feel better than them. But then later, I feel bad about it. I mean, I had nothing truly against the girl. So why say it? Who started the war? Who dealt the first blow to start the war of hate between two people? Did I start it by being too competitive and hitting someone in hockey by accident? Or did she by purposely hitting me after the fact to get back at me? Is that my fault? Or is it hers? Is there even a fault?
Just people get so bent out of shape over the littlest things. Everything deserves to be thrown back at a person. You must get revenge. You must destroy them like they are trying to destroy you. It's dog eat dog! It's a never ending war. We must fight! We must be the victors! If we lose that means they win! And that is unacceptable!
What is this?
This is propaganda.
What are we doing?
We are killing the other side.
How can we do this?
They are the enemy.
What are we?
Humans.
