Lions Don'T Talk Poem by Desiree Whitamore

zebras don't have spots
and lions don't talk
they said be normal
like it or not
walk don't run
while the clock ticks away
grow up right
then leave someday
hold me close
but let me fall
security
means nothing at all
i'm still me
and you are you
two different people
not telling the truth
so i'll stay me
do whatever i can
don't tell me to live
i've got the upper hand
my dreams will come true
i'll stay ahead, in this crazy race
i''ll be me
and you stay in this place.
