I Am... Not Just a Label


I am not just a Label.

 

I am not just a stereotype,

I am not just my mistakes.

I am not just a picture,

I am not just a face.

 

I am more than a name.

 

I am a person,

With something to say.

I am the person you can turn to,

When you loose your way.

I am more than a stereotype,

That people paint on my face.

I am a human,

Who learns from mistakes.

 

I am a just like you,

So keep your Labels away.
