I've Earned to Take My Turn
I'd rather be a mouse with teeth.
Than to be a toothless cat...
Quick to twitter and scat.
I'd rather be a mule than a fool.
With a slow pace taken,
To prove I'm serious and not faking.
I'm not a caped superman,
Flying high in skies.
I may look like Clark Kent...
But there is no weakness in my eyes.
I'm not a stole pigeon on the loose.
Some say I look like a moose.
And I waddle like a goose.
But I wont be hanging 'round from a noose.
Because I speak my mind...
With a daring done most times.
Whatever those lessons learned...
I've earned to take my turn!
And being who and what I choose.
But a 'fool'...
Never!
