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.
