untitled - 1999

Why must you pretend to be

What you are not

To play a role

To act a part

Or are you content to be a sheep

To follow only where others dare to tread

Must another write the lines you so diligently rehearse

Acting out the script of another's life and birth?

And if this you do

And cannot try another way

To forge your own path

To live your own life
