Manifesto
I am committed to me, at last!
focus on me, lose the rest of the cast, I won't sit here quiet and mumble about, if I hit on some passion, it's ok to shout, no more of this fear of me taking up space, if I need some room, I'll get right in your face, this need to be smaller than I really am has stunted my growth from a boy to a man, I'm tired of crying alone by myself, I'm tired of re-reading the books on my shelf, there's more of life out there, it's there to be had, I will go out and get it, if stopped I'll get mad; getting mad! what a concept! being brought up polite has turned anger in soulward which isn't alright I will be 6 feet tall, my height given by birth, no shorter, no smaller, no less in my worth, I am me, dammit, people! It's time to come out! the things that I offer you know nothing about, my mind, once it's open, will change this wide world, so behold this new banner that has just been unfurled! © 2014 Nicholas Emeigh |

Notes: This poem was written on Thursday, January 30, 2014. It's about being okay with being me, about not trying to be smaller than I am, but taking up just as much space as I need.
