Declaration of Me

If there is one thing
I cannot live without
It is the ability 
To let my feelings out

And to be
Me

Expression is...
saying, playing
showing, knowing
sharing, caring
learning, earning, yearning
feeling, reeling, healing
hoping, moping, coping
shying, crying, sighing, flying
seeing, being, Me-ing

Without expression there is...
concession, repression
dissension, detention
submission, extinction
exclusion, delusion
expulsion, repulsion
accusation, abomination
transgression, regression, depression, 
not My Mission

My Mission
Is to live my life
The way I like it
The way I see it fit

I know my right
To freedom of speech
I have to say this
My Declaration of Me

I want to live a life
In a world
Where I can be Me
Not a conformist
My own special, unique person
Who stands out
Shows his true colors
Is a winner
Not a beginner
Takes action
Has a voice
Has a mind
Has a soul

This all follows from being who I am 
And not what society says I should be
It is important to say how I feel
What I like and dislike
What I want and don't want
And not let anybody control my destiny but Me

If I cannot express myself
I cannot live
Or I will not be Me
