I could be free but you won’t let me;

you disguise your oppression with a veil of accommodation,

mocking my every progression.

I could be me but you don’t want it.

My wings, once fragile, now flap furiously, rousing the soils and sands.

But you want me poised, too prude…too you.

I could have more but you won’t have it;

You want me on my knees,

Begging you, please.

But I will be free-

And when that time comes you’ll know it…

…You’ll see.
