I'm NOT Who You Think I Am

I am NOT who you think I am.

I'm not a nerd.

I'm not a geek.

I'm not a magician.

I'm not an actor.

I'm certainly not an athlete.

However,

I like nerdy things,

I like geeky things,

I like magic,

I like to act,

I don't really do anything athletic.

But nobody truly knows ME.

All the intricacies,

All the complexities,

All the delicacies

of who we are

will never be truly explored.

Why?

People can't do that.

The intricacies,

the complexities,

the delicacies,

are so damn complicated,

that even Stephen Hawking

would be truly gawking

at who I am.

So people take what they see,

what they hear,

and what they feel,

to "evaluate" who I am.

By using these boxes

wrapped with their own experiences,

beliefs and desires,

to place me where they see fit.

They do it to everyone.

We do it to everyone.

"He's such a nerd."

"She's such a jock."

"They're such a drama queen."

We're all guilty of this crime

that carries no sentence,

because it is simply human nature.

This is the world we live in.

As criminal as it is,

we do it every day.

Why?

Just for our own damn sanity.

I am NOT who you think I am,

And neither are you.
