Labels Set Free

(not what you think....read on!)

You geek with the horn rimmed glasses
And straight A's on all your tests
What are you trying to prove to us?
We know you're better than the rest.

You preppy girl with the newest cell phone,
And the gucci purse dangling from your shoulder,
Why do you carry namebrands around
Just to prove your bigger and bolder?

You jock who's always chosen first at the games
Football, basketball, whatever the sport
Why do you pass, throw, and catch,
Just because you're best on the court?

You outcast that no one ever notices,
And may be good at everything above,
Why are you hidden in the shadows
To afraid of your shell to come out of?

Tell me, have you ever thought these things,
Or brought these spiteful words to light?
Did it solve your own inward problems,
Your own battles that you too must fight?

What label have you been given by others,
So that you crave to put down someone else?
When attacked by another's cruel thoughts,
You judged everyone but yourself.

Labels only create an imaginary line
You feel you're doomed to never cross
And you wait far away from the line,
But guess what? That's such a loss.

For no one can be labeled with just one word,
There's so much to each and everyone one you see
So take off your labels and somebody else's
So we can get off of this track
That's imprisoning our abilities.
