Why
Why do I have to be a color?
Or a size
Or a face
Or a look
Why do I need this reputation
to be apart of the crowds and the record books?
Why must I have this label
to be content with who I am?
Who is this "society" to tell me where I stand?
If I paint myself a smile
Or draw the image you perceive
Would the sketches still be yours?
Or can I have them now?
So I ask you once again,
Why I need this thing
This thing you call a label
To ensure my hopes and dreams
But you can have the drawings
And the reputation too,
"Create" me all you want,
but do you see me defining you?
