Label
what is a label but proof of fear
fear projected to the other
fear projected on me
i cannot understand
you, it, them, they, that
a person, an idea, a culture, an identity
do you even understand yourself?
i label to conquer
this fear
the uninformed self
i label to sooth
my soul
but, i am wrong
and, they are wrong
that little piece of
broken lens
through which we see
is wrong
