closings xiv

Kinsey Peterson

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
