(a poem for stage 3 that we did not use)


My own True face


I just want to enjoy my life

I don't want to have to worry every day

I don't want the stress or pain

The horrible things that people say


I just want the chance to be myself

To be seen for the person I am

I want to make my own way

Not be part of some master plan


Is there a chance that the person I see

When I look in the mirror

Be the person that I want to be

Without pain or any fear of


I don't want to trace same old paths

Or enact my life like scripted play

To admire the destination I see in dreams

Take steps to the place without any delay


Can I put out my voice for once

And be heard clear and loud

Do I not deserve a fair chance

Without being pushed back by the crowd


I want to see things I have never seen

I want to travel to some far off place

I don't want to lie to myself anymore

I want to be my own true face
