Self

You can’t see me 
You only see the label you put on me  
You can’t see yourself without looking in a mirror  
So how can you see me? 
The label they have given me is not the one I have given myself 
My life does not stop with you 
I am Gods beautiful creation 
My life began at the edge of my discomfort 
When I stop looking for your approval I started living
