I will not conform

I will not conform
    to your archaic ideals
          textbook values
                fairytale romances
                      assembly line style
                            pigeon-holed personas

My life will not be a list of tick boxes

I am human
                          I am woman
                I am me.

I will find my way
On grazed hands
and bloodied knees
I will forge my own path
I will find my home.

I will NOT conform.

I commented here that I wrote a poem about not conforming, and then ditched it 'cos it didn't conform. I decided to put it up anyway.
