Without a microphone
I am expected to speak up.
Without learning
I am expected to know.
Without band-aids
I am expected not to bleed.
Without freedom
I am expected to be myself.
They make the rules I am expected to follow,
But I will refuse.
I will speak softly.
I will take my time to learn.
I will bleed.
And I will be me
the way that I want to be.
