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
