Free V

Free verse/ Lyric
Places of mediocrity
Levels of ordinary, 
Commonness 
Seems easy to resist 
Its exceptionalism 
I am exceptional 
Not limited by statistics 
Not settling for less 
Not excepting your perception of me  
Try putting me in a box 
I’m coming out 
Like Diana Ross 
Like a class at recess 
I’ll be running for the door  
I’m coming to make money
And a better life 
So be it 
I am your fight  
I’m bout that living 
While reminiscing,
And planning to be seen different…
