LABLES THEY CONTROL ME


Dear Society, 

           Isn't it funny how as human beings were are all LABELED,

Did you know that some labels can cause people to become quite unstable?

Calling people names like FAT, SKINNY, UGLY, PRETTY, DUMB, AND SMART

You have always taught us not to take it to the heart, 

As we walk through the halls hearing these LABELS

Have you ever thought your words could be fatal? 

One action, one mistake, and you're stuck

given a label definitely not by luck,

I wonder how you could teach us to be so dumb?

Believing in a quote, Sticks, and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," look at the outcome,

SO PLEASE DON'T DEFINE US WITH YOUR LABELS 

CAUSE WATCH WHEN WE TURN THE TABLES !!!!!!!!!!!!
