One Dimensional Poem by Scott Forster

I don’t want them to know what I believe
Because I’m not one dimensional and there’s more to me
I’m not just about this or that, but human being, human doing
Human living, human feeling.
I don’t fit to the stereotype gripes
I ain’t no cardboard cut out man, this is real life.
I don’t want to be lynched for something I’m not.
Take me as a whole, a embodied soul not as a single slice of the pie.
I am a complete person, a unified I.
It comes to pass your sight that I have a dog in a certain cause, a certain fight
From there it seems to me, I am assumed to be
This 24-7 word warrior carrying it all the time
When I do other things, write lines, waste time.
There is more to me than I can express in one back –forth repartee
This isn't a cartoon on tv, real humans they are 3D!
