I won’t allow you to place a sticker with a name tag on my chest and leave it there to tear fabric from my shirt once I discard it later. I’m sure you would like it if I let your surface area identity complexes  phase me, but I won’t!

I may be TALL, SHORT, FAT, SKINNY, SMART, DUMB, QUIET, LOUD, BLACK, WHITE

I may even go crazy sometimes….but I will never ever be

defined

by the labels of society and the shallowness of small minds, so when you see me walking proudly and unashamed realize that your adhesive placed tags and badges, full of outer image obsessiveness, for me hold no claim, and when you feel the need to label me, please remember this one thing, for I believe it is the CREATOR who in the end will choose my final name!

About poetrymyvoice

My faith and family are key in my life. I am blessed with a great husband, and I have four wonderful children. I am an educator, and I enjoy the excitement of helping our youth find their own voice and creativity. Writing is one of the main outlets I use to express all that I feel and think. Poetry is my favorite form of literature. I also am currently working on my first novel series. Words to me are the most powerful form of communication in the world!

      Thanks, I am doing well, and I hope the same for you. It is a beautiful time of year, and I love the array of colors and changes all around me. I am back at work now from my summer break, and I find that I am not able to post or respond as much as I would like. However, I try to do it as often as I am able. I am still quite privileged to be a part of such an artistic platform for expression. Thanks so much:)
