Array ( [sid] => 36322 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Labels [time] => 2004-02-25 18:05:12 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Just because I'm different
Because I'm not labeled the same
Your friends make fun of me in their own little game
If these different groups could collide
Forget about labels forget about sides
People could be happier
Things could be great

Everyone is different and no one is the same
So why is there the need to cause so much pain?
When we give labels
We don't even give others a chance
Or at least try and give them a little glance
By separating in groups, a divider we create
And by giving out labels, we separate
We reject someone just because they're not the same
What we don't realize is that it's just a childish game

I work with autism so i like this a lot .People are forever labelling each other, without getting to know the person inside..

keep being the person that you are sometimes I feel people act in this manner because they are jealous when in all fact they are only labling themselves and marking themselves.
