label me

who doesn't love labels?

unless
that label is about you

and then
whoa
it's wrong.
but not if it's someone else.

because that makes sense.

let's call them black,

white,

gay,

straight,

male,

female.

let's say that because they're black, they're dangerous.

because they're gay, they're attracted to every man around them.

because they're female they're emotional.

let's use labels to shove someone into a box

that WE think they belong in.

because who cares if they're uncomfortable in the claustrophobic space of that box as long as we're comfortable watching them struggle?

so let's label everyone else because

they're less

human
than you.
