To Whom It May Concern

Put labels on boxes of things and jars of food but keep your labels away from me...

Your labels will not describe me, they will not explain my love; my sorrow; my passion or my indifference. 

Your labels limit me. Your labels isolate me. 

I will disagree with you.
I will upset you. 
I will make mistakes. 
I will misunderstand.
And I will frustrate. 

But keep your labels away from me.

I will apologise.
I will empathise.
I will make amends.
I will learn.
And I will love. 

So keep your labels away from me.

Labels create hate. 
Labels create confusion.
Labels fuel intolerance.
And they will divide us. 

Please, keep your labels away from me. 


Yours Faithfully,
A version of humanity (2018)
