What You Want Me To Be

I'm not what you want me to be

There's more to me,

Than what you see

You can't tie me down,

I'm meant to be free

A free spirit,

Soaring higher

Over the moon

And the stars in the sky

Coasting the seas

And the oceans below

Open to the world—

Of possibilities

No one can change me

Nothing can keep me from my dreams

My goals will not slip

Society will not win

I will fly free—

From what you want me to be
