Who I Am (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 4

Tell me when to go

So that way I'll know, if I should move or not

That is what you want

Isn't it?

To control me?

Make me feel smaller?

Well, I'm not one to mirror conformity

I've always believed it to be more of a lonely city

Rather than a community

Because it's built upon safe lies

I'd rather be a hated outcast

It's been suiting me just fine my whole life

Deep down I've always been a free spirit

Even though they've always ridiculed me for it

There's just some abuse you get used to

I'm a woman...oops!

I also have colored skin...sorry!

Someone should've told me to stay in my place

Oh, right, they did....

I'm too liberated to be held down

I'd rather be wrecked than safe and sound

Spit at me, curse my name

It won't make a difference anyway

Because I can't help but be the same

It's who I am...

I've been reawakened

And no I'm not mistaken

This is my revolution

Or maybe my revelation

Either way I'm taking the risk and being set free

I can't help it, it's who I am...
