Physically? VA.... Mentally? I'm not quite sure

People whispering
Behind my back.
I turn to face them,
They smile back.
They think I didn't hear
What they had to say,
"What kind of freak
Could hurt herself that way?
It's for the attention
That's the word going around."
Though I never showed it off,
And never meant for it to be found.
Why can't people
Just mind their own business?
They didn't care before,
Why is this any different?
Now I walk around
With another label on your soul
For people to laugh at...
Will I ever be whole?

This was very good. Labels suck, I got a new one today!
You put this together quite nicely. I see no flaws.

TOG:

This can be a very painful thing. Although I do not think that I have ever done what you are describing, I certainly am an oddball. It comes with being slightly strange in the brain. I do not like going into details about my fateful and curious curse, but it does have a tendancy to destroy my social interactions. I am not skilled in the social things.

I know how you are feeling. But remember this, many have gone down the path of cynicism as I have. It apparently is not a good thing for you. Try to turn from cynicism. I never considered doing that while I began to hate humans. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Labels do suck. Everyone gets em' in High School.You can change your labels with some work. But once you graduate, labels don't matter anymore, and the people that used to talk bad, won't even be there to talk at all.

OMG, I hope you're ok! Labels suck, but don't hut yourself!

I know labels still do affect us even when others say that all that matters is what we think of ourselves. But, the last thing you need to do is listen to people who really don't know you. Hope things get better
