Fat , Ugly

Too much, Not enough

Scarred, Broken

Hungry , Thirsty 

Alone, Ashamed

Bullied, Beaten

Judged, Lame

Lost, Teenager

What is normal? 

Do I fit in?

STOP!

This makes me sick.

This is when i tick!

Let me be me!

Let me be free!

We are not the same. 

I will not and cannot be tamed. 

I was fearfully and wonderfully made. 

NO, i refuse to take comfort in your shade.

Your shade of perfect.

NO, none of that is worth it.

I dare to dream.

I run into the sun and let it beam. 

And break through the lines of this repeating scene.

<P>In my opinion, labels are a waste of a&nbsp;human's mental capacity. Don't think about them and just be true to yourself.</P>
