I.   i am my own being
made from two other beings
but i will always be my own

II.   none of us choose our blood
many of us just grow up being surrounded by them
feeling a need to be there
even when they treat you like the ground they step on

III.   being blood does not mean that you deserve my loyalty
being blood does not mean i must know every inch of your memories
being blood just means that past generations loved each other enough to make a family

IV.   i do not have to owe anyone an explanation
as to why i am the way i am

V.   i am allowed to weep at the new day being made before me
i am allowed to stay silent in the bleak times that you pray i get destroyed by
i am allowed to scream at the moon when no one else is listening

VI.   but i am not allowed to tell someone else, a human, an entity, how to exist in this universe
so do not tell me how to live out my days

VII.   we are all seperate beings
born from universe tears and stardust
fed from the glowing sun
controlled by the dazzling moon
taken by the power of nature at the end of it all
