do not condemn me
to the same standards
as the paper thin woman
you see on television
do not confine me
into the same mindset
that has created
such emotional monsters
do not suffocate me
into the same mold
that has destroyed
any sense of originality
i do not want to be
another hopeless,
and resentfully hopeful
victim of society
