Telling me not to speak my mind
is like telling a star
not to shine
Giving me a pen and telling me not to write
is like giving a bird wings
and telling it
not to fly
Telling me to keep my dreams a secret
is like telling a chick
not to hatch
from its shell
My art is meant to be
on display
Asking me hide it
is like asking the sun
to hide in the sky
