Quotable Quotes 13: On Labels

Missing image


~by Gregg Rowe~

The labels I allow to be given to myself
by myself and by others,
which I have the choice
of regarding or disregarding,
floats through my mind like water
on the turnstile of a sawmill --
no wonders I am having an identity crisis.

    Do you really experience identity crisis? You seem so self assured and so.... solid. If you can be openly gay, and wear clothing that makes you stand out in a crowd on purpose, and pour your heart into your writing so openly, I would think you were quite assured of who you are! I guess insecurity touches all of us!
