Expectations to be the same as you
Falling into nothingness by self denial
Drowning who I am to fit in
Acceptance
On your terms
Choking on the circumstance
Dying
Sacrifice my sanity and soul
To be a mediocre me
...to be you
And I just can't do it
Not even with a gun to my head
Its one moment
This life
All too quickly gone
And I won't pass by this way again
Live true
Step up and out
Shine
Blaze across the sky like a streaking star
Comfortable with who I am
And what I need
And want
Unburdened by your baggage
So check your expectations at the door
Bury your judgments deep inside yourself
Cause I won't wear them
Or build a monument in their image
I won't be shackled to your discomfort
Or enslaved to adopt false idols
I'll just be me
At my best and worst
And color the world in my own hue
Burning bright
This me
For you
Each of us the face of God
