Try to put me in a box
Castrate me
The box you say
Defining everything
I was
I am
I could be
Would be
Will be
Stick a piece of tape
The label
On my head
Spells out the
Who
What
Why
How
That’s what you say
Anyway
And they
Follow me
Trace the path my footsteps take
Always close by
Never far behind
As they try
To categorize me
Put into the container
The name
As they see best fit
Believing it
Encompasses
Contains
Covers
Embraces
Comprises
Everything about
Me  
But the problem
With labels
Is that
They are for boxes
Not people
