This goes out to everyone who has gained a label from someone else. I think its time we give ourselves our own title.

---------------------------------------

They say I always like to be right

Or that I need to grow up, even though I feel like I've grown up plenty

They say I talk too much

They say I don't speak enough

They say I'm pretty

They say I'm smart

They say I'm a diva

They say I'm mean

They say I'm nice and sweet

They say I'm stupid

They say I'm naive

They say I'm weird

They say I'm unique

They say I'm a burden though they don't say words exactly

They say say I'm a waste of space, though they don't express it verbally

They say I'm tall

They say I'm am skinny

They say I'm fat

They say I can do anything

They say I can't do this or that

They say what I am or am not

Say what I should've been teached or taught

They tell me all these things about myself

But I know who I am, no one else

So when will I begin to stop believing them

One day

I'll pay

For continuing to believe 

What they say

One day

Their words will ruin me

Corrupt myself into belief in thee

To conquer what I choose to be

And soon I won't have a say in the matter

I'll be their precious doll

What could be better?!

Emphasis on the word 'better'

Hearken to my words

Fill others with truthful spurs

Of encouragement

Show others true sentiment

But refrain from dispersing your opinion too much

Or they soon will just become as such
