I will burn the lies you told me,
build a pyre to the self-proclaimed.
I am not the soul you sold me.
I will not go quietly into the flame.
I am a burning rebel.
Contradiction is my name.
I play along and lose to you but,
in the end, you are my game.
Classify me; label me,
and set me somewhere to decay.
Quantify my qualities
and rearrange them on display.
Daddy made me bitter-sweet.
Mother makes me bleed.
I'm a nameless voodoo doll,
and all the pain returns to me.

I will not go quietly into the flame.

Love it!!

Thank you all for commenting. I write partially for myself, but mostly because I love knowing that people enjoy reading my poems. Your encouragement is what keeps me going.
