My mind is not yours


My mind is not yours,

I dont think the way you think,

I dont speak the way you speak,

See, I like the way I talk, so why would I tweak the way I speak?

Why would I creep beneath my peek,

Trying to be something that is just not me?

Opening up until Im free, cause peotry is what frees me,

My mind is a device of eligance, not your tool for your chores,

Not to scrape and pick gum up off of your dirty floors,

Not to be seen and not heard, cause my voice roars, 

So no, my mind is not yours.
