I Am Done

I am done being your puppet
I am done fulfilling your wishes
I am done living your life
I am done being you
Living to throat clenching social conformities
The unbearable heat of me supposed to know this and that
I am done admiring you
I am done thinking that you are better
I am done walking on your footsteps
Mobbing up my pain with tears to please you
I am done you building me like Lego
I am walking once again with my feet
Once again I breathe for the first time
The fresh air of freedom like lilies -beautiful
For this is the last time I live you

I am done

The Tirade

Triumph of Hope
Rumbling of might
Progression of truth
The dawn of liberation
Together we fight
For knowledge and legitimacy 
We forego oppression
Physical at least
Not without education
Not without the pen
Not without paper
Then we can remain blind
But with these we fight
With these we become
With these we scream-
Scream to the ears of injustice
Scream on the face of impunity
With force and might
The pen presses on
The pen leaves permanence
The pen is unforgettable

Word on paper weighs tones
Three or two but can change a nation
Can set souls free
Incarcerated by senseless laws
Triumph of hope
With the might of my pen
