Tell Me the Labels that You Reject Too

Several slanders suited

Take your pick

Understandably wounded

Pieced back together quick

Ignorance presented to you as bliss

Detrimental remarks can’t be dismissed

Watchful minds so selective

Humans always judging

Or is it just perspective

Remembering someone’s something

Even though, you can’t really know

Sometimes stars long to shine

Know it’s fine if they’re grey

Impressive has left its sign

Not on me I’m afraid

Now let us move onward

Yesterday was torture

Fortunately, I’m okay

As a friend has set me free

Told me today, that I looked pretty

Carefully selecting my battles

Regardful of what’s worn on my sleeve

Anyone can see the scandals

Zanily trying to achieve

Yesterday’s wants turned future shackles

Wondering why we continue

Even though we are broken

Assistance was never the issue

Kindness viciously stolen

Uniquely made

Grotesquely dismayed

Lonely in this notion

Your emotions cautiously chosen

But nothing hurts more with these

Issues lying deep

Than the words that pour from

Clean hands turned cheap

How have you risen above?
