I Want To Be Me

I want to be free.

I want to think freely.

I want to be free to think freely.

I want to learn and never stop learning.

I want to dig for answers and gain understanding as my reward, not blindly swallow schooling from a spoon and regurgitate it in a classroom.

I want to work at something and have results as my just remuneration.

I want to please and be pleased.

I want to like despite being liked.

I want to break the mold, not fit the mold.

I want to be heard without speaking and felt without being seen.

I want to be me, not uniformity or conformity.

I want to be me, individual and free, here in this great nation founded on Constitutionality.
