I am not a 'LABEL'

A human society is just about 'Labeling the other'.

To some, I may be a creative person...
               if I start working in a technical field, it would not be acceptable to them.
To some, I may be a happy, ever smiling human...
               if I cry or crib before them, he/she would not have the same respect towards me
To some, I may be a clever, cunning person...
               they would never accept my simplicity or innocence
To some, I may be a very funny person or a joker...
               they would never be able to accept my intelligence and sharpness
To some, I may be a very loving being...
               they would be shocked to see the extent of my hatred.
To some, I may be a very spiritual human...
               they would be shocked to see the materialistic me

In order to maintain my respectability, I need to behave differently with different people.
Some one who has labelled me as 'Intelligent', I cannot show my dumbness before him.
Some one who has labelled me as calm composed, I cannot show my restlessness and frustration.

Everybody has labelled me as the personality that they saw or wanted to see in me.
But I am not just a label. I am all these and much more. I am a mystery, I know nothing about...

W
ish to be with a human who sees the whole of me in all its beauties and ugliness and helps me to flow and grow, without any labeling. 
Some one who sees me as a mystery and finds joy in just being with the mystery.

And I decide, not to label anybody as I have known him/her, 
               to let him/her flow in all its colors, 
               to let him/her know, they can trust me and just 'be' with me :)
