You would have me play their games conform to their ideals take their tests and obey obey their wishes obey their authority You would have me forfeit my individuality, essence, mind, soul you would wish me to walk the walk of the waking dead open eyes unseeing, open ears deafened by their voices, ranting, raving, gibbering salivating, drooling, gnashing their teeth in anticipation of consuming my hopes, dreams, morals, conscience but I refuse you and your lies I refuse to be one of the flock I refuse to be subjugated I refuse your will I refuse to live how you see fit I refuse to passively accept your burdens and your problems I AM ME I AM MYSELF AND I AM I You will never lay claim to me I REFUSE
