Labels Poems - Poems about Labels

My girlfriend Barbara one day introduced me to the five languages of love. I was in a relationship dilemna at the time and was hopeful it would shed much needed light. I thought surely I could figure out which language I exhibited, but more importantly at the time I desperately wanted to identify which love language...

Unwritten labels Why do you profile me? Why do your eyes scream danger at my shadow? They strip me of my humanity. Am I just another face to fit your mold, A man whose presence shifts your peace to paranoia? A man walks by, another fleeting threat, Am I so easily condemned by what I am, Not who I strive to be? You say...

On the noisy streets of a hurried world, Labels are thrown, like in a card game unfurled. A sad smile, or a tear, are signs of danger near, “You're anxious!”, “You're depressed!”, sharp voices we hear. With ease, society doles out diagnoses, ADHD, bipolarity, phobias that impose. But sometimes, a bad day is not a clinical scene, It’s just a moment, a...

One of the first things we humans did when we looked around the world and realized everything was not the same… was to begin labeling those things around us…giving everything a name. We are humans, they are elephants, that’s a bird…that’s a bumblebee. That’s a rock, there’s a rabbit, that’s a flower…that’s a tree. We used labels to help us...

I could wrap you In secret And cling Like double-sided Just to keep Your gift From prying eyes But I have No label A name, perhaps But no concept No complete picture For the pieces Of you Labels Are for things. Boundaries. Pigeon holes. For just a Moment In the journey We remove them On arrival Or when they are Dog-eared Or when they are wrong Or at least We should I don't want To label You. Me. Or Anyone Unless That label.. Reads as follows: "Seen" "Found" "Friend" "Unique" "BeLoved" "Beautiful" "Accepted" "Treasured" "Marvellous" "Just perfect" "No changes required" "If...

To use one word to describe one so beautiful and wise seems an impossible task, but why not try. Gorgeous? Delicate? Ethereal? No, they sound too focused on the physical. Bright? Witty? Smart? But then you lose the art. No matter the effort. No matter the might. To reduce to one word your celestial light is too big a job for me and my ability to fight. So for...

Discard narrow labels and relinquish belief. Take a cue from the sun or the fresh morning breeze, deeming all souls as one. Discard narrow labels, first find out who we are; surely not body-mind nor thoughts we hold on to, that grip us in their bind. Discard narrow labels, borne of conditioning, placing God in a cage; our fundamentalism is feral ego’s rage. Discard narrow labels to reclaim inner light aglow within...

Labels that lead to hate…will only pain impart… they will never bring us together…only push us further and further apart. When we are consumed by the labels we place on one another it becomes more difficult…more bizarre to see each other clearly…to understand who we truly are. When all we see is a person’s color, race, sex,...

Oh flesh of many colors, brothers all are we, placing the Holy Spirit above us on our knees. No matter what we’re labeled by those who sell a grace, when names and slogans start to fly, be calm and hold your place. A yearning, kindly human heart is only satisfied through service to our Father, not willful selfish pride. Attitudes need adjustment for loving, patient deeds: objective understanding not subjective,...

You see I think people should have warning labels Warning they have bad anger issues Warning they can’t stay in one mood more than 10 min Warning they are damaged But I’d have so many My list would be endless and no one would want to stay No one would want to stay long enough to read them No...

As humans, I imagine, it is human nature when viewing the sights and sounds around us…to try and understand who we are and all the wonders that surround us. To do this we attach labels to everything we see… that’s a cloud, that’s the ocean…that’s a flower…that’s a tree. These labels are quite useful when used as they’re...

Humans were never made to be labeled, just to be loved properly. So if you catch yourself judging or ridiculing either out loud or silently. That is because your ego is well intact and you think you are better than he or she. Forgetting, we have all been forged with the same blood, bones, tissues...

Society wants to stick me into a chair and label me. I think it is hilarious. I have an identical twin. If they gave us each ten labels, we would not end up with a single one that is the same. We have the same face, laugh, voice, and mannerisms. Society would not understand. For they are not us. They cannot get into...

she reaches behind the smokescreen of her sunken eyed curtain veils films of tears void of translucence stoke reminiscent ashes that trace another blinding thick-skinned defeat hidden by camouflage and smears touched up campaigns of bravery her retinas a web of hallucinations illusion delusion cataracts and dreams stirred but not entirely shaken as she reaches for another glass to empty while numbness mixes with mirages of victory...
