leveling the playing field


today is the last day i listen

to what i should be

 

between you and me

i don’t need

 

your opinion

 

layer of the onion

peel it and cry

amid the acrid smell

 

put it in the pot and fry

season to taste

 

i will no longer waste

with you

and all that you feel i should do

 

to be the final piece of the puzzle

that is as long as i am muzzled

 

i will be what makes me happy

not what you prescribe

amid your perception of what is true

 

and the heavy burden of dues

you feel everyone should pay

to purchase their freedom

and pursuit of happiness

 

i won’t be on the list

to any of the clubs

but i’m still gonna dance

 

and i will be just one thing

while i still have the chance

and this is simply me

in pursuit of what makes me happy

 

goodbye
