No! You cannot fit me into one category to describe me as one thing.

I am not one thing, color, emotion, or label.

I am a woman that cannot fit into one box and one box only.

“Check here.”, they say!”

“One box only”, they say!

I cannot fit into one box!

I will not fit into one box!

I will not be segregated into tiny pieces of my identity to fit into a representation of what you see fit because I am too complex for your understanding!

I can’t fit into your box; because of all of the beautiful colors that I am.
