I am more than a number


Since when do we let numbers define our worthĀ 
Why do they have to define our place on this earthĀ 
They decide our future and where we fitĀ 
And what we will do and when we do itĀ 
Numbers now define what we think of ourselvesĀ 
They make people judge you, they even contribute to our healthĀ 
They decide wether we’re proud or ashamed or in troubleĀ 
But I wish someone could burst this ugly bubbleĀ 
I’m more than numbers on a computer screenĀ 
I am more than statistics.Ā 
I might only be a 3 in maths and a 5 in my looksĀ 
Because I couldn’t remember all the information from those ancient school booksĀ 
But in common sense I’m an 8, and in kindness I’m a 10Ā 
I’m so completely selfless but actually, then againĀ 
When does anyone care or ask about who you areĀ 
They skip strait to test results and getting very farĀ 
And I know it’s important and I’m not saying I don’t careĀ 
But doesn’t it matter more if you’re a good person and not if you’re 100% all thereĀ 
Because you might be very smart but does that matter in lifeĀ 
If you have nothing to show for it, like friends or a wife? Ā 
You might be high numbers on a computer screen
Ā but I’d rather be dumb and kind than smart and meanĀ 
Now not all smart people are mean, I’m not saying thatĀ 
But I’m saying numbers don’t define who we are and thats a fact
So next time you tell me I’m a 3 or a 1 or a 7Ā 
I’m not gonna Care because I know really I’m an 11Ā 
Because I don’t fit your certain box and I know that numbers don’t really matterĀ 
And even if my confidence takes a bit of a batterĀ 
I know. that I. am a queenĀ 
That I am more than a number on your silly computer screenĀ

Hello Alipali03...

Welcome to Cosmo!

You even have a number after your name...

We are numbers in many places...

Government offices, Deli's, we have a social security number too...

If you want service you need to take a number...

It's even used for a pain scale...

I guess it's easier than ABC...

I can say I have never been rated on a Computer Screen, yet...

That would be an interesting survey...

?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

You my friend ..are a 11 in ANYĀ  language,, because as you say ..we are all so much more than the number of our parts or theĀ  ratings we have to supposedly achieve in life...SAT results...Uni passes..credit ratings...health ratings..yes its all based on numbers rather than on the things that truly matter- kindness,generosity, caring..all things that dont scoreĀ  but in my opinion they are the ONLY thing that counts!! VeryĀ  enjoyable writeĀ  thanks for sharing.Ā Ā
