I Am An Individual

I am tired of being punished for the actions of others. I did not rob you. I did not hurt you. I did not do any wrong by you. Do not hold me accountable for their actions. If someone else was a loudmouth It is not my fault. I have no control over other peoples actions. I am not their keeper. I am me. I am only responsible for me. I am not the stereotype. Don't treat me as such. See me as I am. Not as they are. Stop punishing me for their actions. See me as the individual that I am. Put your hate and ignorance aside. Treat me the way I deserve. Look at who I am. Judge me for MY actions only. Stop grouping me. Stop taking my individuality away. Do not blame me for what they did anymore. I am an individual. I expect to be treated as such.
