Let Me Be
Let Me Be
Urge I to thee,
Let me be…
Cease clutching my hands
For they are out to feel the sky
Cease squeezing my spirit
For it cares not fences.
Cease confining me to walls
For it dost not fetter my soul
Cease cuddling my dainty
For upon it eye the wolves
Cease enforcing me callous norms
For they are baseless
Cease crushing my voice
For no more will I keep quiet
Cease assassinating my character
For my quest for true love
Cease shaming my intentions
For my choice of dress
Cease judging my priorities
For my high aims
Cease condemning my choices
For they do not echo yours
Cease fearing my stride
For it desires no harm
Cease imposing your dominance
For the new ME yields not
Cease dictating your terms
For no longer would I bow
Instead,
Urge I to thee,
Let me be…
