"The greatest fear in the world is the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom."-Osho

They’re tagging me with numbers

This, I can’t deny

They’re tagging me with numbers

I really oughtn’t lie


They’re tagging me with numbers

My name, my heart, my time

They’re tagging me with numbers

And it’s about to fly


My eyes are calculated

To the narrowest degree

And my skin color is detected

This is a really brief poem. I found it in my sea of other poems, so i figured I'd put it up here.
