Strident

Get on board or don’t; because I am not going to quit.
You can support me or not; but no more sideline shit.

I’m gonna live this life; until it finally kills me.
I am gonna plot my course with zero feeling guilty.

Buy a ticket for the show & put away your phone screens.
I won’t be pausing later to fill you in on missed scenes.

I’m done asking your permission; awaiting your green light.
You blocking my blue sky is surely asking for a fight.

Yes, this is big talk; I’ve steeped in humility too long.
Is asking for love & agency really all that wrong?
