Identification
I will not be placed
Into some neat little box.
I will not fit.
I am not conventional,
I will not go along with the flow,
Biting my tongue and silencing my views.
I will not stand to be invalidated,
Nor am I wittled to nothing.
I will be me.
Everything that encompasses a person,
All the traits,
Quirks,
Flaws,
They make us human.
I am smart.
Excel in school,
Do this,
Do that,
Be smarter be better be the best.
I am outspoken,
Do not stand for injustice,
Do not bite my tongue
Turn my cheek
I will stand tall.
I am friendly.
Lending a hand
Outreaching to those in need
Mentoring
Tutoring
Trying to improve a bleak world.
I learn where I can.
I am a fixer.
A believer.
A problem solver that will not stop.
A friend that will fight to the death
To defend somebody.
I am myself in all aspects
Not to be changed,
Altered.
You will not place me into a box,
I am not to conform
To suit another's wishes.
I am a human being
That stands up
Stands tall
Stands strong.
I am magnificent
I am myself
I am.
