Words

So many words, they mean so little. So many words that I have used to decsribe myself have become labels. One word is now all that I am. How did a description become my enemy?

Why can you not see past something so small and insignificant? This one word is not me, it does not describe the beauty behind my eyes, my feelings about the world.

One word can not explain the complexity of my mind. It can not explain my world of tears and laughter.

How can someone reduce someone's entire life, all they are and all they ever have been into a single word.

You do not know me, and I am sorry to say that you will never have the chance.

If you think I can be summed up and categorized into one word, then you have no place in my life, but since you want to hear one word so badly, I have one word for you:

Goodbye.
