i cannot be tailored to fit you.
i cannot stretch out so thin
to cross the guidelines you've implied
i cannot unstitch my own seams,
and i cannot let you do it for me
i will never abandon my own dreams,
i cannot let you shape me in your hands
like clay.
i have formed myself
and i am already dry
i am a finished masterpiece
stamped and signed
so you can have me as i am
or say goodbye.
