No One’s Slave

Each day unleashed before me

Brings a new sky to the fore

A new colour in the rainbow

That I’d not noticed before

It spreads its wings, wide and fearlessly

Knowing, without it, the picture is incomplete

And though it’s not understood now

It will be accepted eventually

And when the Sun goes down and twinkling is out

Night sky brings to me

So many lights – dull and bright,

Where each one counts,

Though some can’t be seen

They tell me their heart is their guide

There is no wrong, there is no right

So brave, they explore and cross lines!

Not scared of failure or envy

I want to reach for the sky

And put it all in me,

There’s a difference inside

That wants to break free!

So tear apart my heart,

I want to make a fresh start,

So, I am what I want to be

Trying to figure out my life

Who says I can’t take time?

Don’t like the answer I’ve got

That’s not what I want

I don’t want to be

Yet another slave to Stereotype
