POETRY / POETRY PROMPT
Definitions
Your labels will not stick to me
2 min readJul 29, 2021
Your definitions,
the labels you put on me,
are your truths not mine
for I’m my own to define,
and I don’t need your labels.
Who I am is me.
Give me the freedom to exist,
not words to oppress,
and simply let me be me,
undefined and amorphous.
With thanks to Sahil Patel for creating this poetry prompt challenge:
Day 18’s prompt is to “write a poem about a label that has been put on you and want to get rid of it.”
