A - Sonnish - On Fluidity
Don’t define me by what you think I am
I refuse to label myself
Exclude me from your pre-program
I don’t follow your parallel
How I express things is me being me
Sometimes I’ll be one thing, and later another
No need for the labels to quantify what you see
I’ll just do my thing and leave you to wonder
Minute to minute I may fluctuate
I am what I am based on how I feel
Under your epithets I would just stagnate
It may be confusing but my changes are real
I have decided that I’ll be a fluid
I’ll no longer let myself be diluted
I am just me, and that image is lucid
