Let me be calm Let me be free This is not all I am allowed to be Let me be wild Let me be proud It does not mean I am always this loud Let me be happy, let me be sad, and occasionally let me be unreasonably, and furiously mad, Let me be Poignant, Let me be deep Yes I am sheltered, and yes I will leap, Leap with no fear and leap with such force Because art and purpose will serve its course I am a vehicle of the soul, and a pardon from god A label will brand me and cage me and blind me But the labeler’s mind will lose me or find me. I am so much more than a statistic or name, So much more than a figure of a body or frame, So much life, so much breath, so much thought, so much depth, so much fight, so much light… So much to learn and so much to know. So much to change, so much to grow, So here i stand, alone and untamed. I am unarmed and silent and i am never afraid… So don’t dare decide that i’m something i’m not, don’t dare cast me in your story if you don’t know the plot. Let me define my own divine path. Your imperfections are teachers and i love you for that. I know not my purpose, i know not my goal, but this is the song of the many sided soul

This is the Song of the Many Sided Soul
