Don’t Shrink Me

Labels attached
Adhesion varying
Causative factor
Applicability
Single?
Unloved, divorced, never married
All lumped together
All one and the same
Labels designed to facilitate relationships
Failing
Creating confusion
Making a corporation out of the individual
Who am I?
Caitlin
The morning star
Always visible
Kite-lin
Flying high
Buoyed by confidence
Carefree
A poet, a dreamer, a lover
Not one not all
But each in its own time and place
