What Gets My Goat.

I am but a human,


prone to mistakes, and never really knowing what is right-


or even what "right" is to begin with!


And who needs to be "right" anyway?


I'm left-handed.


 


I am but a girl,


mayhaps a lady inside, but most people would say otherwise,


"Dude, nice one!" But I am not a dude.


A girl must be girly, but why?


I'm a tomboy.


 


I am but a drummer,


funny that I can't play the drum-set, but let me tell you-


I march a forty-five pound one...and yes, band camp is starting soon.


A drummer is characterized as "dumb"?


You should see my class-load.


 


I am but an artist,


although most schools don't count "anime" as art,


"It all looks the same" they tell me with a sneer.


Well, have you seen your abstract art?


You should see my portfolio.


 


I am but me,


On the cosmic calender, my existance is nothing,


my life is maybe nano-seconds in the eyes of the universe.


After realizing that, would you give up?


I am a human girl who drums and draws,


but still...


You will see me fly.
