Dealing With Labels

  Dealing With Labels
Picture Credits:

Because I call you lettuce,
doesn't mean you will turn green.
Like saying you are dirty,
doesn't mean you are obscene.

Because I say you can't,
doesn't mean that you're not able.
Because someone calls you something,
doesn't mean that's your label.

It doesn't matter what they say,
if its not true, it won't stick.
Like water to a ducks back,
shake it off, that's the trick.

Remember to keep yourself focused,
on the reason you got in the game.
Value is placed on accomplishments,
its the act and not the name!


This in response to, "Labels" by Brittney N. N.

A neat clear and humorous poem.
As usual,

Good work!

I think this is a great response to Brittney's poem. I really like the first three stanzas. You did a great job constructing them. Your last stanza contains a few lines that causes the whole poem to come to a halt. "on the reason you got in the game." and "not what your using for a name." These two lines are difficult on the tongue. I could not help stumbling when I read them. Maybe it's me, but I would take a closer look at these two lines, maybe just a slight switching of words can do the trick.

I wish I had thought of this, it is a great topic and you expressed it well. In every walk of life, people put people in boxes. A famous person once said, "I just want to be me, I just want to be free." (actually it was me who said that; I guess I'm not that famous)

How true this is. The label will never stick if you don't let it. Wonderful job, Anthony, but nothing less can be expected of you :)
