Allow Me To Be My Self Poem by Luxolo Poswa

Containing to me won't help me, it will drown me
Let me swim away with the ocean waves and search my path

Holding me down will do no justice, it will bruise me
Let me crawl and find my way

Controlling me won't make me straight, it will make me fall
Allow me to walk and choose my track

Restraining me won't contain me, it will weigh me down
Let me run to the finish line and break a record.

Suppressing me won't retain me, it will break me and hurt my ego.
Let me fly, fly away, let me be brave for once.
