Life in totality
is a journey all too brief
with an ever looming finality
so why the drama and grief
over my frail and fluid morality?
I have refused to follow
these rules of your making
knowing your promises to be hollow
their legitimacy was difficult to swallow
I knew the rules were for breaking
You have nothing with which to bind me
neither norm nor convention
shame does not blind me
for pride never confined me
with false hopes of ascension
I do not care if I exist
by divine will or happenstance
it is not society I resist
but loss of freedom and chance
to be human, just for once
