I will never be the author
Of my own story
When judged for what people see
And not what makes me “me”
I do not wish to live in a world
Where who I am is a mystery
While others write my story
But keep their words in secrecy
I am not perfect
I’ve never claimed to be
All I ask for
Is that they set me free
Allow me to pen my own words
Figure out what I want to say
Yet, how can I do this
When their words get in my way
