I'm a person ready and able
And not for sale
to live a life worth living
pursuing contribution to the world
to unfurl the flower that is my soul
and to know it's intricate petals well
I will shout from the hilltops
my voice carries the waves of individuals not gone
legacies hidden in my dimple's folds
and I love with bold fire
just as many else have told
I have a story to tell
and am a character in many to come
just as anyone else I care in a pining matter
leaving judgement of other souls to those more refined
(in other words, not you or anyone else!)
don't you dare put me in a box
***** you politicians who say those nothing words matter more than my four:
my right to privacy!
I will sneak like a fox
out through corridors of creativity
Out of spite, breaking the lock
While you shiver as to how impossibly I'm right:labels and life have a too short clock
