I get to start over,
I can't believe
my good fortune...
I start anew,
without your
rotting values
implanted in my soul.
I get to breathe
my own air,
not the air
that you created
for me
and it's so amazingly sweet
The non-conformity
overtakes me,
and I feel
as I could do anything
and everything you always said I couldn't do
In a list

i wish i could find this in my life.. i think i'm constantly poked and prodded, still allowing those around me to control me... unfortunate... great write, and good luck...

very cool. conformity is the most inhibiting entity on the face of this planet, as there isnt an ounce of freedom in it. good write, i can relate.
