Labels

What sets us apart
From each other
Is not so much
The labels
We put on one
Another
But rather
The hate
Behind
The labels
The notion
That one
Person
Is bad
And one isn't
Merely
Because
Of how
We feel
Towards

A specific label
Goths
Metal heads
People like that
Are looked down
Upon because
Some think
Those labels
Mean the person
Is something
Negative
When in reality
They really aren't
And on the flip side of that
People think
Someone who may
In someway

Fit another label
Is all good
And that isn't
The case either
Labels are bad

And more often
Than not
Untrue
But in the end
What really
Makes them

Dangerous
Is the hate
And bias
Behind them
