When You Get Labelled

When you get labelled in a grade school It goes through the ranks fast and hard Preconceived notions about your label brand you now You get discussed in the lunchroom not as a person But as a diagnosis It happens in offices too, and neighborhood and churches. I have observed this my entire life, so I am careful. I have an affliction people fear. Many of my girlfriends use my affliction to describe psychopaths. I keep my mouth shut. Trusting no one. Once your diagnosis is out, It is way out. And I will have none of that. So, I keep it to myself.

Oh yes, a very good idea. Never give out too much information about yourself...and, unfortunately, I do that all the time!!!!
