way

i want to be me
as a way of life.

authentic.
true to my own
thoughts and beliefs.

undo my training.
indoctrination.
social conditioning.

i want to be me
as a way of life.

laugh when the mood strikes.
cry when the tears are right.
following where my heart leads.

open, knowing it will bring
pain and pleasure,
and accepting of what comes.

i want to be me
as a way of life.
