Labels

She went to the store to buy a label machine
Then she came back and put a label on me.

The label said “clumsy”, “dumb”, and “mean”
On just one tiny label, but it was easily seen.

She went and placed labels on all in sight
And I saw what she saw, only seeing in one light.

I was surrounded by babies, by whiners and brats
Only noticing by the words on their shirts and their hats.

She went to the store and bought a label machine
Altering my thoughts; I only saw what she had seen.

I shared this on Google Plus. Me gusta. It reminds me of the book about the stickers that only stick if you let them. Is it You Are Special? something like that. Anyway, it reminds me of that book.
