Become your own


Take a deep breath
Gaze into your own face in the reflection you hold in front of yourself
You are pale
Bleached by civilization of today's world
Everything takes a toll on you
Easily deceived 
Easily maneuvered 
You are only but one out of many
So fight 
Fight until you get out of the lines
Of black and white
Become colorful 
And not hostile 
Become human in which you are
You are one
Become your own
