LEAVE ME ALONE


Female
Femininity at it’s purest
Carry yourself “correctly”
Be what we want you to be
Suffer under patriarchy
Have your opinion but risk not being counted
Independence/dependence
Equality/love
Make your decision.

Young
Grow up, why don’t you?
Mould the future
Next gen.
We’re relying on you.
But you’re oh so disappointing.
All of you.
Our fate is in your hands.
“hoodlums” v “intellects”
Make your decision.

Mixed race
Black or white?
White or black?
What ARE you?
Do you have an identity?
Embrace yourself
“best of both worlds”... are you sure? (what about my world?)
Make your decision.


My decision is... human. Now leave me alone.
