i am not fat,

or ugly,

or wrong or awkward or emo or a cutter

 

i am not crazy or socially and mentally unstabl

and i am not a stereotype

 

i refuse to be labeled by my peers

or by my teachers,

and i certainly refuse to be labeled by my own parents

 

i am me, and it is time that everyone learns that

"The way I see it, every life is pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant." -The Doctor

Wow! That was amazing.

For those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will fly on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

I love it. An excellent example of striving to be unique and shaking off labels forced upon you.
