Define a Name

If I am ink on a page, I am a person in a cage.
To define a soul with words is to define the depth of the ocean with a twelve inch ruler, it just doesn't paint the picture.
Labels cover many spots, "kind", "wise", "funny", "blunt", but they cannot cover everything.
And sometimes, the exposed pieces of me make me feel ashamed.
We were Adam and Eve, naked in the garden, before we tried to make a label for everything.
Now we cover up, choose the things we'd like be.
A "rebel", "professional", "risk-taker", "homemaker".
And we sit in our bubble of definitions and meanings, and hide all the pieces, we'd rather not give a name.
