permit me voyage: i will travel far.
allow me freedom: i will use it well.
grant me my choices: i alone can tell
what next will come out of the way things are.
show me a roadmap: seat me in the car.
give me direction: west or north compel.
hear my decision: you face a hard sell--
suggestions i will take, and take to heart,
but in the end, my travels are my own.
are you offended by my confidence?
is my empowerment some threat to you?
it's such a shame your mind must be so blown.
i won't rely on help or providence,
but build my life, ground-up, and live it true.
