They can't teach my soul

to sit down on a chair. 

 

Their voices are the epitome

of structure

but I have already trained my voice

to paint outside of the lines.

 

My eyes are oceans 

that sometimes spill over

but theirs have already managed to dry out.

 

They can't teach my soul

to sit down anywhere.

 

Break my bones and sever my limbs

and I'll still find a way to glide

from one horizon

to the other.
