I am the flowers,
The trees,
The oxygen you breathe.
I’m all around
There is no escaping me.
Try,
To respect me,
Praise me,
Admire and honour me,
Love me forever.
Don’t dismiss me
As a nonentity
I have feelings
Emotions,
Just as all do.
But I don’t need anyone
I don’t rely
On someone being
The sole component
Of my life.
I have independence
Freedom,
My life is my own
My privilege
I am a Statue of Liberty
I am the world.
In myself, everything.
