Labels

Labels are there
For you and me
To label things
We “think” we see

We “see” these things
They make us… feel
They make us… forget
What is real
Behind the things
We attach labels to

So we live with
Abstractions
Like “me” and “you”

Yeah, Labels sometimes
Do get in the way
And we can’t “see” the sunshine
For the “light of day”

But sometimes I wonder
If we all were able
To live out our lives
Without these labels

What life could be
What life we’d see
If we didn’t have labels
Like “you” and “me”
