Faces in the Crowd
Stand awhile in the midsts of a crowd and just look around you. Do you know anything about the people surrounding you? Can you create something about them from what you can see before you?The girl standing over there? The one swaying to and fro? Do you think she's emotional or passionate? Take into consideration the look upon her face. And look at the clothing she wears. Now which would you say?
The boy with the mohawk? Is he a rebel or a sheep? Look at the way he stomps his boots on the floor to the beat. Check out his new duds from Hot Topic. See the make-up he used to give him the gothic look. See how multi-colored his mohawk is. So is he rebel or sheep?
Look to the edge of the crowd. See the person standing and staring at you? The one with no make-up wearing an old comfy pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt? The one with a look of concentration on thier face while they ignore the music? The one who is analyzing you as you analyze others? Take in the way she glances at those around her. See the way she cringes from being bumped into. Watch as she smiles at someone before walking farther from the edge of the crowd, still watching you. Do you see how she's trying to fit you into one of her boxes? Do you recognize her need for conformity? Can you tell that she thinks everyone is a sheep in thier own way? Don't give into her. Don't let her put you in a box and cast you aside like everyone else. Keep her on her toes. Never let her figure you out. And maybe, maybe she'll learn not to stereo-type so much. Maybe you can prove to her that not EVERYONE is the same. That some people deserve to be known for them and not what they do... Don't let her make you just another face in the crowd.
