-human-

-Daily Poetry #19, February 16, 2017- Word: Human As soon as I was born, a label was thrown on my forehead. The world had planned it out, I was just another doll in this vast world's society. Straight, Christian, Gay, Agnostic, loveless, What label would they throw on me this time? A nerd, a cheerleader, a nobody, why do I question where I belong? Is it because of the label? Reaching up, I rip off the thing that won't define me. I am nothing but HUMAN, for I am alive, and still here. I can feel emotion; love, hate, and I am still happy here. I see the world through eyes that may be worn, but still shine. Bright colours, sun and rain, I see a world where I am just a HUMAN. And nothing but my near future matters. Black, white, Native American, labels don't matter when everyone's alike. It's a future I would look towards, where everyone can express themselves freely and smile. If humanity is what we are, we will make our own love.
