    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 not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
