My Life's Beat

Dear society, Why do you set my limitations Why do you tell me I can't Why do you have specific expectations for me Why must I dance at the beat of your drum Why don't my thoughts matter Dear society, Who IN THE WORLD put you in charge of my life You don't walk in my shoes You don't fill my lungs with the air I breath You never fed me, taught me, or even raised me So why again must I dance to your beat I am a man yet a son of God So I won't dance to your beat but the 1 He and my heart makes Written: 2009
