To define is to limit. To define is to draw the blinds in every room and starve the budding flowers of the light they need to bloom. To label is to try and quantify an entire ocean We are not here to be statistics we are simply here to be. How can we be assigned to a basic black and white when an entire spectrum exists inside our minds? See we shun what we don't understand with assumptions that we cannot prove and we don't want to open our minds attached to the old, afraid of the new and we're frightened to open our hearts even though we have nothing to lose and there's so much that we could all learn if we just opened our eyes to the truth. See, if I exceed the conceptual boundaries that exist only in your mind would you treat me as if I'm a threat? Would you take any time before you decide That I'm a foreign body in your blood? Would you try to knock me down? Would your alarms sound? Would it **** up your system? Or would you allow me to stick around?
