I AM NOT AN ALPHABET
Nor an alpha yet
They crossed my tees
To dot my eyes
Trying day and night
To box my dreams
Blindfolded
Out of sight
Not out of mind
New labels
These tags are bars
Societies verdicts
Phrased to sentence 'we-men'
A man is weak
So wear a mask and lean
Somewhere between A and Z
They coined 'we can't'
A for average
B for broke
C for cheat
D for distant
E for evil
F for failure
Put man in Z
Z for Zoo
But if you zoom
You're going to C👀
They define to confine
Breaching God's design
But we're more than labels
And not defined
By words
That deem our light
We're not perfect beings
Nor human-bins
We're flawed
Yet, deeply rooted
Branching out with seeds and fruits
A MAN IS MORE THAN A LETTER
WE WILL NOT BE ENVELOPED
