One night, I was told
I could be anything
I could fly if I wanted to
No.
It is said that "By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible. Those who have cautiously done no more than they believed possible have never taken a single step forward."
Bakunin is wise. Was.
He continues to live on.
LET ME BE 
I'M NOT CRAZY
Conservatives tell me that I should be respectful.
Tradition is meaningless
Aside from the unnecessary sentiments.
They also tell me that I am foolish.
I am, crazy. Perhaps even, psychotic.
Is being for freedom that psychotic?
Maybe I am psychotic.
I love being like this. So,
If you think that telling me I am crazy is going to make me denounce what I stand for
You obviously know nothing about me.
And thus, never will.
Is there something you wanted from me? You think I have anything that would belong to you? You trying to take MY THINGS? WHEN I EARNED THEM? YOU'RE AFTER ME AREN'T YOU?!

AND NEVER COME BACK!
I DON'T NEED YOU HERE! You think I depend on YOU? You think I need YOU in MY life?

Sometimes we are all our own worst enemy, and forgiving others is often even easier than forgiving ourselves. This is such a strong shout out against paranoia and self incrimination. Disappointing ourselves even fighting the demons within , or maybe, an eviction of sorts. Rampant emotion and fury, it's good to get it out in something creative like this. great writing, Powerful!

What I liked most about this was that you can't just read it once and make sense of it; I seemed to be getting different meanings every time I read it, none of which may be correct but I like that it kept me thinking so much... At first I thought it may have been about gay rights but as I looked closer it seemed like you were talking about the government as a whole and how they try to dictate who we are and classify freedom but coming to the end of the piece, it seemed more personal and directed at someone who made you lose trust not only in them but in humanity... Overall I just enjoyed getting lost in all the possible meanings, rather than finding a single one.

What a yummy review. Thanks.
i like the structure of this because its original and i love the two lines "one night, i was told i could be anything" which is what most people get told when really your own choices depict what you are going to be and "anything" is truly a rather vague word. great job! :)

Subconsciously we either wish to survive or we don’t. If we don’t, then we become self-destructive without realizing it because our conscious mind is the slave of our subconscious desires.
