Labels

by lani-foronda

I don't like labels. Labels mean restrictions. *Oh, you want to do that? No no, you can't!* Labels mean expectations and Expectations means disappointment. Labels mean something has to be Ought to be Like this & not like that. We'd constantly be thinking if what we were doing Was what we should be doing. I like labels. Labels mean structure, And structure means order. If everything was in its place- Exactly as it ought to be- We'd be okay. We wouldn't have to worry about crossing over the lines That the world has drawn up against us. We'd know what to expect And what to feel.
