Just Some Poetry

I will fly!!

I'm trapped
In the small cage of a completely predetermined life
Which ties up my wings and restrains me from flying
In which everyone else decides how I have to live
But me

I'm trapped
In a pool of expectations which aren't my own but society's
Thousands of things which people expect me to do
Thousands of things how people expect me to be

I'm trapped
In a world in which noone asks me about my own wishes and desires
Because
They want me to be a machine
All I have to do is to work
All I have to do is to function

I'm trapped
In a society which appears to be perfect but where hate reigns
Where love is a problem
Where heteronormativity as well as conservative attitudes still fight back loving people and liberal minds
Where people get hated for spreading love

I'm trapped
In a life in which I am taken for granted
My support is taken for granted
My friendship is taken for granted
My love is taken for granted

I'm trapped
In the strictness of a system which forbids every little touch of individuality
Where being different is a sin
Where developping a personality is contemptible
Where staying in line is the most important rule

I'm trapped
Yes

But they won't break me!
I will burst out of the cage of my predetermined life
And I will fly
I will not drown in the pool of expectations
I will not be the machine they want me to be
I will not declare love as something which hate should overweigh, no matter what, no matter who
I should totally not be taken for granted
And
I am different!
I am a fucking individual in this system of mechanically same-way thinking people!
I will always be!
And you will never take me down!!!
