I’ve been labeled as many things
Some more true than others
Gregarious Wild Child
Daughter Sister Mother
Sometimes I let the labels stick
If I like the way they look,
Loving Wife, Great Employee,
The Best Most Awesomest Cook ;)
Others, I wear on my sleeve,
They’re the ones I made myself,
They read : I am Strong! I am Worth it!
I am Beyond Wealth!
It’s the ones that seem to stick to me,
With some super-glue sort of force,
I despise them oh so much it hurts,
I’m constantly scraping them off, of course,
Failure! Not good enough!
Just a Piece of Shit!
Crazy Fucking Loser!
Dumb Stupid Bitch.
I hate the way the sticky feels,
Even after I’ve peeled them off,
So I’m collecting some replacements,
I’m looking everywhere abroad.
I saw Stand Up Citizen,
On the news the other day,
I think I can aquire that one,
I think I know the way.
Successful and Accomplished,
Have started writing themselves,
Determined, and Willing,
They are almost done as well.
I think I will hold on to,
Raw, Blunt and Wicked,
If somebody has issues,
Well… they can just go stick it ;)
Truthful, I want to own twice,
And Selfish, I will edit,
I will try to change the fish to less,
Selfless, it’s hard to get it.
My Favorite Person!
My daughter - gave me that one,
Hot Wahine Momma,
From my sexy husband.
Helper… Learner,
And of course! Teacher too,
Human Who is Sensitive,
Not Subject to the Blues.
I will fill myself up,
With what can still be changed,
Not making any room,
For Hurt, Mad, or Blamed,
I will keep all the labels,
That feel good to my soul,
Like Growing a Lot,
And Enjoying the Show,
The ones people give me,
I’ll weigh with my heart,
Being True to Myself,
While I Use My Smarts,
So if I don't stick,
To the label you have for me,
Don’t be offended,
I just earned FREE!
