I really enjoyed this poem and its an international problem or 'addiction'. In an attempt to overcome the 'label' I decided I was label-free, until the inevitable realisation that "label-free" was just another label.

So, when asked how I see myself, I just reply simply with "me". Me is a label I can live with, it is my own definition and it is one that is transient according to my interpretation. If people feel the need to label me then they will have to accept the definition that I am comfortable with, because I am not very comfortbale with anything else.

Thanks for this fantastic poem.

I'm glad that you found meaning in this poem T,

labels are useful in some senses....but it becomes prejudicial when people assume that all in a box are the same...it's obvious to me that no two lesbians/ women/ whatever elses are the same...but straight people to often assume that...and make assumptions based on the label....which is why i resent it

be yourself no matter what they say

sol-o,

Your style--both in writing and thinking--shines brightly here. This would be such a good piece for a slam or an open mic! *Nudges you in that direction*
Thank you for gracing these pages with your words.

Peace,
Eilidh

Eilidh,

I like to try everything and anything poetically...

I made exactly two attempts to write slam poems....inspired by a local slam poet who was absolutely amazing!

But I doubt that I'll ever stick to one form of poetry....the mind rebels...I cannot really figure out why I keep trying different things....it's just the way things are...who knows...

TY for your input....it's appreciated Very Happy
