My Own Person

My Own Person

I want...............
I want to be free
I want to be my own person,
not barriered by the boundaries 
of your conformist ways,
your clone like
catastrophe
that you give a sad attempt
at trying to pass off
as a lifestyle.
Take me to the mountains,
take me to the ocean.
I need to be free
let me GO!
Kick down those boundaries,
those well built walls,
of society.
I am my own person.
No restraints on me.
I play by my own rules,
or lack thereof.
I follow no one.
I am my own person

that's good that you have the qualities of a leader at such a young age. but to be a courageous leader you must learn to follow first

thanks!!! :)

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
