A collection of my autobiographical poems

Desperately seeking diagnosis
I collected labels

         this one pristine and crisp,
         straight off the psychologist's printer

         this one, from my childhood schoolbag,
         wrinkled,
         lacking adhesive,
         with an odour of expired yoghurt

and I built a mosaic
to present to the world
as me.
