Labels are everywhere.
From the shoes we where
to the people who where them.
Everyone is labeled.
Weather they want to be...
or not.
The way you dress is labeled.
The way you act is labeled.
The way you speak is labeled.
It seems nothing can go without a label.
So what do you do when you wish not to be labeled?
You walk away.
Plain and simple.
You ignore it
just tune it out.
Don't let others give you a permanent label.
For only you can label who you really are.

Vaguely reminds me of Utada Hikaru's English song Devil Inside!
You don't know cause you're too busy reading labels, You're missing all the action underneath my table, I'm waiting for my turn...
Note I said vaguely... Anyway, Haley got all the errors. I didn't see anymore. Not that I make any claim to fame with error-spotting, but I try. Another thing it vaguely reminds me of is the poem I wrote yesterday, Sin. Or at least a few lines of it. As I was saying, this is a good piece with an original idea put into words. I'm sure most of this feel this way in one situation or another. Good work! Keep it coming!
This is a great poem! I love how you wrote about Labeling. Labeling I think has become to big a problem. I like how you made it free verse, and didn't rhyme. I think that worked well in this poem. I also really like the last line. It gets the point across.
One thing that you might want to fix is a few spelling mistakes, though.
i.e.
"To the people who where them" should be "wear"
And "Wheather they want to be" should be "whether".
etc.
But, other then that, you did a nice job! I can't wait to read more by you!
Hi, Brittney, I think you're absolutely right! We are in love with labels. This can be very annoying. I think your poem deals with this subject in a very objective manner. Brittney, it is always a good idea to use a spell check with your work. The word lable should be label. "From the shoes we where," The word where should be wear and perminent should be permanent. I like your poem and the subject matter. Keep writing and expressing your ideas.
The straight-forward advice you give in this poem is very wise and the poem itself would be excellent except for some spelling errors and mis-typings. If you correct these you will have a first rate poem...'lable' is spelled label, 'weather' in this case is spelled whether and 'where' in the 2nd and 3rd lines is spelled wear. 'Perminent' in next to the last line is permanent...You also need a space between you and act in the middle of the poem...I really do like this poem and what you are saying... it is so true.
Welcome !
