To Be Me

a poem by Codey

  1. In searching for an easy life,
  2. some kowtow and try to fit in,
  3. as if begging for forgiveness
  4. for the commission of a sin.
  5. This sin is named by bigots
  6. and by too many of us believed.
  7. They've bought the lies of the many,
  8. not realizing they've been deceived.
  9.  
  10. The lives they lead may seem okay
  11. but it's all a big charade.
  12. I'd rather live my own life
  13. than join in their masquerade.
  14. To improve our station on the wheel of life,
  15. I'll gladly become a pinion.
  16. But I'll be damned and fight like hell
  17. before I become anyone's minion
