Don't chose me for your symbol
I have been monitored and watched all my life.
I have only recently shaken off the burden of being it.
It is not my goal
My life is my mine
Let me live.

Public scrutiny is worse than an audit.
Does your support of me allow you
The right to tell me how to live.
Do I count.
Yes you created me and this I am thankful for
But now you want to control me
This can never happen.

If I lose me
You lose me
If I am lost
You lose too
