Do not call me Gothic

Written October 13, 2004 in Denver Colorado 

 Do not call me Gothic. 
I am not a style, a label or a way for you to simplify to I am. 
Do not use any preconception of my attire to assume what it is that makes me. 
I am not one way. In fact I don't always. 
I do see as much as you do you and love as I do in pain.

 Do not call me Gothic. 
As so many oddly do. 
Despite my constant ability to not close myself and black, 
my love for the sun and my ability to bring my many styles into one. 

 Do not call me Gothic. 
 For although my past was not a happy one, 
you will not see me using my past as a excuse of who I am. 
I agree that our past does contribute to our personality, 
however we create our reality. 
So many are blind to this. 

 Do not call me Gothic. 
 For some of my poetry may be a bit on the Darkside, 
as a coin and any good Libra my other side is bright. 
I am as much a child of darkness, as I am of light. 
I hold a lot of love, 
however the willingness to remain alone.
