I

I

I
Should I
in my need
to be acceptable
conform to normal standards?
must I
like the world I live in
sell myself
to the highest bidder?
must I place myself
on auction
so I can be purchased
and accepted.
Would you have me
debased
to please you?
Would it not be easier
to accept what I am
than to break me
and build me up
so I conform?
