Missing Link

I was never supposed to fit in 

Forcing me to view the world more expansively 

No stereotype could box me in 

Dictating a life I wasn't living 

Who are you to tell me 

I'm not who I am 

I'm uniquely me 

Created in inequity 

No one can judge me 

But the God whom created me 

Must I fit into a role 

Belated to clowns parading around in clothes already worn 

Must I be a fool for a cause 

A block I don't own 

People who don't give a fuck whether I starve or mourn 

Must I be whom you want me to be 

To fit into a society 

Pretending to be
