I feel like people are chained in. Locked in a box covered in chains. With a label on the top. As if others are afaid of them being theirselves. And then all of the chained boxes with the same label get put in a dungeon together. And if one person in one box breaks free to talk with another person in a box with a different label they are executed. And all the other rebel boxes never try to break free when they see what happens to the others.

This piece talks about social classes. I want people to understand it is okay to be yourself.

Not necessarily. I see where you are coming from. I am from a country in Europe. When I talk to people from different races, they are not exclued. Its a good start, but can you explain yourself more and give proof?
