Unique
You say I am unique
different in my own way
that every action I take
was a command of my own say.
You say I can do,
I can be, I can strive for anything
That as long as I believe,
There’s nothing life won’t bring.
But you were wrong.
how am I different
how am I unique after, all
the pressures I am thrown under
to be smart, beautiful-to be the greatest of all
How can I do,
how can I really be
an astronaut, a chemist, a doctor, a teacher
when you refuse to listen to me.
I am my own person,
I’ll do what I want to do
and so when you tell me
I am unique, I hope it’s only true.
