Labeled in Three

In a world full of labels, it's not the three lettered acronyms you want, it's a word with only two letters.

They say
I have ADD.
They say
I need RSP.
They say
it’s in the IEP.
***
Silly letters in the name
But for me it is all the same
***
But my identity, you see
comes in three.

And that's the key.
***
These labels,
you see,
identifies me.
***
Call me what you want
that label doesn’t taunt.
***
Only one thing I want to be
is just to be labeled as “me”.

***

I’m not ADD

nor need RSP

And I don’t need an IEP.

I just want to be me.
