Stop trying to stuff me in your box
where I must conform to your expectations
when what I offer is a paradox
with expectations defiled by unintended wrongs

A nurse I am
but not a saint
I cannot reverse
your fatal complaint

An attorney I am
but not a saint
I cannot reverse
your moral constraint

I am an author
but not a saint
my stories are mine
with colorful paint

I'm a doctor of the mind
of psychology and how we think
with theories of old and new
and I transform not as a lunatic

I am a seeker of truth and hope 
that each person, despite trope,
can become their best and joyful self
and I advocate for your hope
