AWAKENING TO THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE
So it is Written; So it shall Be.
Shake loose the shackles.
Rattle caged bars.
Unfasten the lock.
Break free from America’s
Hold on me!
Raised in a Culture.
Assigned a number at birth.
Registered in the city.
Where my mother and father lived.
Clothed in Innocence.
Stripped of my organic nature,
The dress I wore,
Was someone’s else’s design.
Without a model.
That I could conceive.
No matter how I tried.
It never fit me.
Finished trying to put on that dress.
Done trying to fit in.
Found the steps to create me.
