The Blank Slate
According to you I am a blank slate.
A vision, a hypothesis
A theory, if you will
You think I will bend and break to your every whim
But you don't know me
You think, though, that I will fall to expectation, correct?
Well one day I become full grown
And decide to fly the opposite the flock,
To sing a different tune
But I fall to the ground
I am injured and cannot get back up, though
And so I die alone on the cold, hard ground.
Then the vultures who titled me what I am,
The Blank Slate
Come in and decompose me, right?
But what those large birds don't realize is that I am within them
I am a part of them now.
And nothing or No one can stop me.
Nothing or No one can stop me because I am what they made me.

I wrote this a long time ago about a suicidal friend of mine. This poem means a LOT to me.
