At birth labels were placed upon us Neat and nice, perfection almost Oblivious, unaware that these labels would form our outlook on life. Tags impervious to the most powerful emotions, chained to the heart The labels trapped and confined us Dragged us from the depths of the ocean to the soaring sky Our individuality seeming like a fleetting memory The labels stalked and followed. Purposefully picked and placed in rows. We accepted them obediently, However we were aware of the gloom But labels can be snapped by a change in perception

A Painful Division
At birth labels were placed upon us Neat and nice, perfection almost Oblivious, unaware that these labels would form our outlook on life. Tags impervious to the most powerful emotions, chained to the heart The labels trapped and confined us Dragged us from the depths of the ocean to the soaring sky Our individuality seeming like a fleetting memory The labels stalked and followed. Purposefully picked and placed in rows. We accepted them obediently, However we were aware of the gloom But labels can be snapped by a change in perception
