The Box Labeled "Me"
July 31, 2014
The Box Labeld "Me"
Label me weird.
Cover me with locks.
Make a mental note,
And put me in a box.
Put me away.
File me under "strange."
You'll get my life,
Perfectly arranged.
Call me "gay."
Forget I exist.
File me away,
And put me on a list.
Look on the outside.
Don't open the box.
Why bother at all?
Just chain all the locks.
Keep me in this box;
In here you'll stow me.
Just read my label,
And you won' know me.
I won't fit in.
I can't be contained.
I make you unsure.
I will not be chained.
But it's not always so,
I think you'll agree.
I fit in a box;
The box labeled "me"
