Do not Label Me

Azura Nightsong

Arrogant
Self Doubting
Cunning
Liar

Faithful
Brainwashed
Delusional
Idiot

Violent
Angry
Hot-headed
Psychopath

Oblivious
Eccentric
Good for nothing
Waste of space

Skinny
Lazy
Stupid
Anorexic

Why do you throw these words at me?
Labels you don't understand
You refuse to see the person underneath
No one is one dimensional.

Black
White
Asian
Mexican

Hindu
Christian
Muslim
Jewish

Girl
Boy
Gay
Trans

Tomboy
Slut
Emo
Egghead

Why do you throw these words at us?
Labels you don't understand
You refuse to see the person underneath
No one is one dimensional

Atypical
Bizarre
Peculiar
Startling

Nonconformitave
Strange
Unusual
Unconventional

Eccentric
Weird
Not normal
Different

No, not different.
UNIQUE

Each person unique, no one the same
Your view of black and white is lame
These labels you don't understand
Your viewpoints need to expand

There's good and bad in everyone
Embrace it all and we've finally won

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is really an issue today. Our "Labels" do not define who we are We do. Probably not my best work but I hope I got the meaning across. Enjoy!

    You got your point across I love it and it's so true we are labeled every day not knowing who that person is underneath that person is on the inside but that's life and we all have to face it but don't mean we have to accept it

    THANKS FOR CARING AZURA ! We all do it ~ and we all get it back. Of course with Mobiles ~ Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Snapchat etc it is much worse now ! NAME CALLING (Character Assassination) is endemic. In te Uk we have an old saying "Sticks & Stones may break my bones but NAMES will never hurt me. hat is what I have always done and tried NOT to retaliate ~ OK ~ HUGS BRIAN
