I like having a label
Dad says I get too wrapped up in them
But it is nice to know that I’m not the problem
There is something else
Something broken
In my brain
With chemicals
And it is not just me
Bipolar Type II
Anxiety
Depression
Recurring and moderately severe
Medicated
LGBT
I have a list of labels that I use to tell myself
That I’m just me
And they tell me who I am
I’m more than my labels
But I keep them close to my heart
