I can always call a taxi
I can always run away
my legs are able to move
my mouth is able to sing
why can't I just do it
why can't I run away fearlessly?
my eyes are on a prize
my parents don't approve of
my heart is in a place
my friends think are stupid
my mind is so far fetched
they wonder if I'm human
every day I wait
I wait until I'm able to run away
I wait until I'm able to face the day
until I'm able to say my name
in front of a crowd of people
that are accepting and kind
and not rotten with no mercy
but a color of mine
I wait until I can say
"that is not my name"
until I can shout it from the rooftops
"you don't own me"
