Author's Note:

Hi guys. My apologies on the poem you're about to read. Comment if it's making any sense or if not, leave a comment on the part needing editing cos I was just scribbling anything that was popping in my mind. Hope you'll enjoy it. 😃
****************************

I choose to be happy, I choose to be free

I choose to be nobody; I choose to be me.

Regardless of my ethics and skin tone,

I choose to be wrong just to feel right

I choose to be Muslim, I choose to be Christian

I deserve the truth, I choose the light

I shun the darkness, I choose to see

Outweigh the good with the bad

I choose to be a looser, I choose to be a winner

I choose to be a lover, I choose to be a fighter

Learn to fight for what I truly desire

Stand for something and live for it

I choose to slave away just to become a master

I choose to go through the pain just to obtain my gain

I choose to make a name just to run away from the shame

I choose to chase for the riches just to run away from the poverty

I wish to live long yet I deserve to die.

For my humanity is not mine to choose.
