This is my first Haiku, and it's about labels people give me. I hope you like it! :)

You did a much better time at your first hiaku then I attemped in "Blue Sweaters" LivHarris! Great job of telling us how it is, and what you want to be refered as instead of some label. Keep it true!

I love this, because this has a connection to me and my life. Very deep and stirring, as short as it may be Liv.Harris, but it's still POWERFUL. I understand this. Keep writing! Know there's always someone cheering for you, amazing friend ^_^

I'm not usually one to like haikus but I understand the message so much from just 3 lines and that is amazing
