Let me be me
April 18, 2016
Let me be me
as I am my country
and no one has the right to colonialize
me.
Let me be me
as I am my sovereignty
and no one has the right to invade
me.
Let me be me
as I am my autonomy
and no one has the right to chain
me.
Let me be me
as I am my king
and no one has the right to rule
me.
Let me be me
as I am my people
and no one has the right to suppress
me.
Let me be me
as I am my constitutions
and no one has the right to own
me.
Let me be me....I have the right to
Let me be me....I want to
Let me be me....I am tired of being you
Let me be me....I can't let you be me
Let me be me....let this not be a mere dream
