Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Wear the Label of You

You tried so hard to find something
That describes who and what you are
But that’s not how life works, not really
You might as well try to count every star

Categories and labels only exist
So we can be processed and identified
But it’s impossible to label everyone
Despite all the people who’ve tried

The truth is, it doesn’t matter
what category or label you hold
You don’t have to fit some standard
No matter what you’ve been told

You’re still you, inside and out
There are many who would agree
That you’re perfect just like this
That’s all we want you to be

So just wear the label of you
