Speak in careful tones

Modulated

Into the pleasing

Be just

Exactly “so”

Before the neighbors talk

Live the construct

The archetype

Unless you choose

To fall

Tumble to the other

Side of judgment

But there is freedom

In villainy

In the role

Of the outcast

“Making trouble”

Building waves

To take down

The framework

Built

To limit us

Rebellion

Is defined

As making your own

Choices

Ways

Paths through life

Better to make waves

Than to remain

A delightful portrait

Seen

But never heard – Caroline A. Slee
