Akhyitah / Bill Temple
(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
