They will tell you a thousand times
To take a step back
To put your family before yourself
To not do certain things
And to keep doing 'certain' things
To wear the proper dress
To behave the proper way
To talk the proper talk
To walk the proper walk

But I am giving you the right to be improper
To be all over the place
To take as much space as you want
In whichever way you want
In whichever place you want
For you weren't meant to be tamed or controlled

You are the forest fire
The roaring ocean
The mighty lightening
Burn them if they try to touch you
Swallow them if they cross your limits
Strike them if they look at you with the wrong intent

You and I
We've been gentle enough
It's time for us to roar!
