Stereotype Poems

The rage of a tired black woman

Rage.
Fury.
A constant burning anger.
A rage stemmed from generations of those who have come before me
An inheritance we have the right to own 
Something passed through each black child born
One that clings to our skin and bones
A communal experience we share alone

Every time a black child comes home from school
Fallen tears from racial slurs
Another wave of

I am a loud and angry black woman, So what?

They make the stereotype of the loud and angry black woman seem bad
But why has nobody questioned who made us like that
The language they use to belittle us
Our mouths hand stitched with silence
And the box of requirements we are shoved into
Threatened by the mark of violence

Yes I am loud and no I will never be

A black girls guide to not being believed

Well first of you have to be black 
So if your not sorry about that
I guess you're just gonna have to be believed 
I know for once your not included
How does it feel not to be the centre of attention 
I guess it must be hard having white privilege 
Oh and also being favoured
And no

do not stereotype pigs

Forget everything you have heard about stereotyping the pigs.
I met some the other day, who were cleaner than my cousin Jigs.
They vacuumed and dusted the barnyard until it was clean enough to eat.
Then they cleaned out the barn, until it was ridiculously spotlessly neat.

Forget about mud, someone said when they met these pigs.
They are now

I Am the Bisexual Stereotype That Lesbians Are Afraid of and Straight Men Get Off To

Tell me—
Did you fear the
Rumors?
About me, us, ilk?
Greedy and needy and yearning
For what you
Cannot give us!

I’m her—your
Worst fear
Given flesh.
Insatiable, hungry
Consumed with a need no
One can meet.

I mean it. No one. Biologically impossible.

I do want it all.

In me, around me, on me,
Breathe in the smell of one and
Taste
Another.

I’d beg,
Really.

I am everything wrong,
But I feel so right
I

A Dragon Lesson

Ebony blue-eyed dragon of fierceness with green iridescent wings,
How do you hide in the night sky?
Not easily, she replied, but it can be done, if you are true to your kind.
Better when it is foggy, and when other dragons are not about,
for this is when people least expect you.
Do you sneak up on your enemies?

Stereotype

"Not everyone who drinks is a poet ... some of us drink because we're NOT poets" -  Dudley Moore, "Arthur"



Not all poets are lonely and envied, apart,
       Broken, dark souls straining for light, outspoken and proud.

Not all musicians struggle with substance,
       Or

Labelling People

Angel?
Demon?
Faerie?
Witch?
Random labels
None apply.
We are all changelings
Pure and simple
Or complicated and unpure
Depending upon the mood, the moment, and our momentous events.
Divorce, death, cancer, car wrecks, they all take a toll on us.
Changing us completely in one second.
Giving us a perspective we never had before.
Showing us that our opinions are not the same now.
Sometimes switching to the

Asian Stereotype

A pair of monolid eyes, and I’m academically enlightened.
As if I’m some talented prodigy on his way to an Ivy League.
Able to quickly solve problems without ever breaking a sweat.
Absolutely - perfect - in every single subject I decide to take on.
Always an A+, an automated Asian-American achiever android
As an unwilling recipient of a C

Stereotype

I was told I am a "typical black female stereotype"
I grew up without my biological father??... My uncle was my dad.
Despite this fact I am certain he his the best father figure anyone has ever had.
I was told I am a "typical black female stereotype"
I have kids and their father and I sometimes have issues??.
But

Stereotype Enforced By a Storm

While I appreciate the vacation
it would have been better if it were paid.
Funds lessened by nature’s aggravation,
lends credence to the starved artist charade.

A Stereotype of Me

You thought you had me figured out 
Before you knew my name 
Cause you're you and you're unsatisfied 
That I am not the same 

You'll never change the way I love
And you can fight for you're dominion 
But I'm worth a million times the weight 
Of a dogmatist's opinion 

I know that all that you

Stereotype Me Not

Life of a stereotype me not
Doing the actions I forgot
Like freezing when I should be hot
Digressing your opinion of a plot
Doing little when expected of a lot 
If I don’t have it, then what do I got
A loose rope with a knot
Or cold piss in a pot
With the gun of truth, here’s my shot
Of the

Stereotype Reinforced

Joke I will bomb you,
Offend my faith, god and I
I threaten you with death?

Am I what joke says?
Offend my faith, god and I
I threaten you with death?

I am not this way,
Offend my faith, god and I,
I threaten you with death?

I want peace and love
Offend my faith, god and I,
I threaten you with death?

I want free

Breaking the Stereotype

Statistics show an epidemic
A problem at hand
the statistics are looking at me.




They say that my education is an unattainable, unfathomable, distant goal
That a life on the streets is the farthest I will ever go.
They say that my qualifications will limit my achievements,
They say I will be a never-ending victim of the streets,
Healed only by the
