Imprint of labels

Imprints of labels

I watch as she imprinted words on a small note

The ink sunk into the paper

It was a word that seemed meaningless

WEAK

It read

I saw her imprint it on a girl I knew to be strong

She stuck the note into the strong ones skin


The note was wrong

But it began to sink into her skin so deeply that it left an imprint

As it scarred I began to see her become weak

Now the weak girl began to write a note

The ink sunk into the paper

It was a word of offense

DUMB

It read

I watched as the weak girl imprinted the note on a girl I knew to be smart

The weak one stuck the note into the smart ones skin

The note was wrong

But it began to sink in

It distracted her and then I began to see her become dumb

The dumb girl began to write a note

The ink sunk into the paper

It was a word more rude than the others

Unimportant

It read

I watched as the dumb girl stuck the note on a girl I new to be very special

The note was wrong

But it began to sink in and it left an imprint

The special girl began to hide and left herself behind and I began to see her as unimportant

I saw the unimportant girl began to write a note

The words sunk into the paper

They were terrible words

UGLY OLD HAG

They read

I saw the unimportant girl stick the note on a girl whom I knew to be beautiful

The note was wrong

But it began to sink in and leave an imprint
And the beautiful girl became testy all the time and snappy and I began to see her as an ugly old hag

The ugly old hag began to right a note

The words sunk into the paper

They were terrible sorrowful word

NOBODY LIKES YOU

It read

The girl approached me and stuck the note to my skin

It was wrong and I knew

It was wrong like all the rest of the notes because people did like me very much

I ripped off  the note

It could not imprint

I now knew I could rip off others

I went to the ugly and pulled off the word that had covered her she was once again beautiful

The pretty went to the unimportant and removed the word that has hid her and she was now special

The special went to the dumb she removed the words which distracted her and she once again had an open mind

The smart girl went to the weak and  tore off the painful word that shot her down and she was once again strong

The strong went to the girl who had started the chain with a note a note that read

LOVED

And she imprinted it into the girls heart

And now  each girls heart has a word that keeps it going and keeps them from falling a word that has been imprinted deep into their hearts.

LOVED

STRONG

SMART

IMPORTANT

BEAUTIFUL

And

LIKED

These new imprint shield every label that tries to takeover

And they protect each girls heart

Now instead of labeling

They are the ones to rip off the cover that conceals the talented and beautiful.
