I Hate Labels by Gloria

Some privilege folks may ‘label’ me as a sixty year old, 
low-income, black woman with mental health issues 
going nowhere ... and that’s bullshit. 
I hate negative ‘labels’ and see myself as a survivor 
.... of a lot of life lessons. I believe it's my refusal 
to claim the labels that inform me that 
I've passed my expiration date and my determination to create; 
yet, another brilliant second act that makes me seem younger 
than my years. I am proudly visible. And this is 
just another new beginning for me …
