we have been labeled
PRETTY
PLASTIC
SMART
SLUTTY
WEALTHY
WORTHLESS
BEAUTIFUL
BASTARD
SWEET
SARCASTIC
these labels define our existence
labels given by society
a society comprised of us
you, me, your friend, my neighbor, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
WE are the society
consistantly craving acception
UGLY
DUMB
CRUEL
they're only words
based upon one-sided points-of-views
KIND
SEXY
GENIUS
these are only labels
based on a single person’s opinion
WEIRD
DIFFERENT
STRANGE
we are only what we believe
many doubt themselves due to others
i am labeled by society
GENEROUS
BRILLANT
SHY
AWKWARD
yet i choose to trust in me
to trust in my voice
i've decided
i will let my soul burn its brightest
i am me
you are you
we are
FLAWLESS
