Orange is the new pink.
Change is a preferred matter.
Something new is appreciated.
Remaining the same is boring.

Cotton is the new polyester.
Comfort is always a key.
Keeping up too, is as industry.
Demand is high, flow with crowds.

Nike is the new Adidas.
Endorsement is the enhancer.
Enhancement is the stereotype.
Everyone has them, everyone.

Chevy is the new Ford.
Strength is an important quality.
Endurance is a necessity.
Showing up everywhere, oh welly.

Simplicity is the new popularity.
A mind is one without thought.
A being is single in a path to never.
Life is easy - just live it up.

Stereotyping is the new suicide.
We're selfish beings,
Refusing to change, to try.
Everyday we pester you
With all our problems.
Each of us are the same,
Like all your stereotypes.
Our giving up and failing
Makes your life easier.

Stop the goddamn selfish stereotypes.

Suicide is a selfless act for one best reason:
It's okay to care for yourself when your mind is right.
A little something inspired by your lovely comments on my poem "Stereotypical Suicide". :meow:

Note on the last stanza... I'm not quite saying suicide is okay, simply that it's not selfish. I got so worried about the reactions on this it caused a nightmare the night I wrote it that has burned itself into my memory... Remember to care about yourself enough to try and find reasons to live because life is a wonderful chance once you can make those chances happen. So... Stay strong. :heart:
