Pose/Poise Poetry

I pose myself as a mirror; I poise myself as if a lady. But I am neither.

I cannot mirror your emotions well enough And your phrases sound unnatural from my mouth. I am a being, independent from you, Why won't I treat myself as such?

Secondly, I am not a lady. I am not restricted enough by the customs I've studied for my own sake.

I will play in the dirt; I will express myself. I will be whoever I can be Not a lady nor a mirror.
