Reject it

A poem

If you find a rule
break it
You find a boundary
push it
If you're told no
say yes
If you find comfort
reject it

Tell yourself
I am not such a fragile thing
If those self-important theys
don't like it
don't understand
Fuck em

How else are you supposed to
learn
Where your heart
fears
Where your feet shouldn't
step
Your tongue, your fingers, your ears
Haven't
But what they love
must be there
And there isn't where you're 
standing

Art isn't meant
for boxes
You aren't made
of angles
Language is clay
Smoosh it
Wet it
Turn it
Upon the wheel

Above all
Don't listen
to me
