Labels of Human: Show It Anymore
That’s my roll---
Remember!?!?!
Like I’m ever to be,
Could ever be,
Or would ever be anything else
Dehumanized
Made to feel
As if I’m either saint
Or Anti-Christ
OH!!!!
I forgot (only for a second)
That I’m not human, I’m whatever you say I am
THE ROCK,
THE SWEETHEART,
THE SMARTASS,
YOU’RE HEADACHE
I could never cry
Or wish to die no,
Not me the cat
Who always lands on her feet
THE GOOD FRIEND,
THE HONEST ONE,
THE SEMI-MISSGUIDED GIRL
You’ve given me labels and stereotypes
To trivialize my feelings
As if I had none
Because----
I’M
THE BITCH,
THE WHORE,
THE TWISTED HUMOR YOU SEEK,
THE FRIEND,
THE FUCK UP
And that’s how you see me,
How you’ve always seen me’
How you’ll always see me
I just want to say one thing
And that is
If I’ve made mistakes
Or have hurt people that I love
Then it is because I am truly
HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You built me up
To knock me down
And to make me
Seem like I am some what
Less than worthy to be called
HUMAN
Just as I have done
With those I’ve deemed
My heroes
And public figures that
I’ve deemed to be
Stupid, evil, dangerous
Or not worthy of media attention
I guess
We’ve all done it
Given labels
To make us feel better about ourselves
I’ve gotten many
SWEET,
GOODIN BED,
THE BASTARD CHILD...
Yet!
I still want to be
MORE!!!!!!!
More than just crammed and stuffed into
A box that I’d like to say
I’ll never fit into
But I can’t and I’m not
I tired myself out
Trying to fight labels
And have just
Accepted
Them and the fait attached to each label
The worst thing I’ve
Could of done
Because I’ve let you win
BUT
DISPITE
WHAT YOU THINK
DISPITE
WHAT THEY SAY
I’M STILL HUMAN
I JUST DON’T SHOW IT ANYMORE
Remember!?!?!
Like I’m ever to be,
