Classified

Why the tag?
Did I give you a reason,
not to trust me?
why the antagonism?

my intention was never
to create division
friendship, purely friendship
or is even that not allowed?

if not, then say so
don’t be suspicious,
and don’t assume,
because by doing so I am being tagged

and classifying me,
will only reflect badly on you
because in the end 
you never got to know me…

Hi, wilma. I usually think of "tag" as something good, but for sure, this one is not a good tag! Stereotyping I will take it to be. Great thoughts, and I am happy that you will enter a free verse in that contest. TEll me which one! Luv, Andrea
