“be who you want to be” my mom always swore
no restraints besides the ones given
by my peers
and untrained mind
some claim to be the seer
some don’t, and thank God
i claim to be none of the above
always wanting to know what it was like to succeed and be flawed
reared and dropped off
as broken
to be mended / made whole
“this is always a chore”
the king i dreamt of
lived in a place untouchable by flesh
but accepted my spirit
my untrained mind will never be fully trained
giving me limitations beyond my control
so i’ll just be who i want to be
and be yours all the same
