I Am Not A Label
In order to not waste time, we all claim
It’s easiest to label, it’s easiest to name
Sometimes it is kind
Sometimes it sucks
And sometimes it gets stuck in my mind.
But words cannot express the person I am
Moments in time is what makes me me
I cannot be defined as a label
Nor can I be forced into a sentence
I am simply am not able.
I cannot be defined as someone put into a box
But I can be defined in late night talks
I am defined as that hilarious pun
I am that goal I scored back in the summer
I am a late night baking session at one
And I am that rained out concert that was a bummer.
The person I am you will never know
Unless you present in my life
And if you are
Then you will see
The person that is me.
