Go ahead define
Put me in your confines
Build a bracket
Draw a line
But I promise you
Everytime
I will defy
If I have to,
Everytime
I will decide
Because I have to
I am not you
Just like you are not me
Don’t step in my shoes
Don’t wear my heels
They are MINE
And only MINE
It can break,
It can hurt
It will break
And it will hurt
But I know
How to get up
How to heal
I don’t need you
Or anyone
To teach me
How to live
I am me
Not you,
I am free
Just like you!

Shared with NaPoWriMo. Just felt like yelling these lines with all my force, on top of my voice. I am glad my pen did it on my behalf.
