Set Me Free And Let Me Live Poem by David Olusanya

When shall I dance to my own heart beat,
And cease to become what you believe?
Set me free and let me live,
Ere my time fade bit by bit.

Must I vouch for all your viles,
You selfish care, your pungent pride?
Set me free, my wings are wide,
I need to fly, to where lily lies.

I need to soar beyond the sky,
To be a sun that lightens your soul.
Set me free, from your hideous hole,
I need freedom, I need to fly.

I'm not born to live your dream,
To fuel to fire, to feed your flame.
Set me free, I have my own claim;
I'm a seed to spring my own stream.

Allow me dance to my own heart beat,
I have a dream beyond your sight.
I'm a new dawn, a different light;
Allow me dance to my dream's drum beat.

David O. Olusanya
