I Decide
That I am not who you say I am.
That I am who I am.
That I am who I say I am.
That I am who I choose to be.
That I am what I say and think and do.
That I Am No Longer Willing
To put up with bullshit.
To adhere to structures of control.
To be placed in guilt and shame and fear.
To give my power away to others.
To hold myself accountable to others’ opinions of me.
To Limit My Expression
By allowing others to tell me how to live.
By conforming to rules of conduct that are controlling to me.
By living in fear or worry or shame.
By accepting myself in my sense of smallness.
By hiding my true self from the world.
By What I Was Told I Once Was
I am not that time I did that.
I am not the one who says what I said then.
I am not the one who is being punished by guilt.
I am not your condemnation, judgement or hate.
I am not who you say I am.
I AM who I AM and all that I AM is what I AM.
