Labels do nothing but screw up your life...
Goth, emo, freak
Popular, loser, geek
Today your popular and great
The next day, you're a loser
At the bottom of the food chain, the bait
That's what happens with labels
Just because of the way you look or act
They call you emo or goth
Because of what you have or lack
Labels just mess up everything
Today your uncool
The next day, everyone seems to love you
And you make your crush drool
Labels don't help you at all
Just because of your intelligence and nerdy looks
They call you a geek or a nerd
Because you'd rather read a book
They label you
Goth, emo, freak
Popular, loser, geek
Labels do nothing but screw up your life...

I would like to translate this poem
A) Keep it. Labels, that is predjudices, cross all boundarys of age, creed, ethnicity, etcetera and are not particular to any 'label' we might wish to place upon them in whatever value structure pleases us. Nice strong work Hannah.
