Labels

It is in my fingers
and in the edge of knowledge
that knows we are born without labels
Don't stick any on me
and if you are happy with ones others stuck on you
or ones you stick on yourselves
temporarily or permanently
for profit or soul satisfaction
your life, really
but don't stick them on me
I much prefer
this label-`less territory
where I am connected to everything
except your labels
that bore me, actually

  2. Wish people listen and implement that, Sadly they don't. We should ignore them saying those labels you've given doesn't define who I am!

    Beautiful poem dear :)
