Everyone,
in all their delightful
shapes and colours and forms,
deserves the right
to be what
they want to be,
and to become what
they ought
to become,
and to break out of
the deadening expectations
of those who
wish to control,
and smash through
the walls of
small and pitiful minds,
and find beyond
those confines
the joy of discovery,
and the power of lives
filled with
striving without barriers
and unrepentent urgings
towards everything
and all that is
possible and impossible.
