Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn’t you rather be something strange?
Something mystical and mythical,
Something wild they cannot tame?

Be wild, child.
Take society by the collar
And say, “No, I will not.
“I will not be your puppet.
I will not sit down and be silent.
I will not be your skyscraper prisoner.
I will not be your cookie cutter child.

“I will forge my own path.
I will be my own self.
I will speak, raise my voice in protest.
I will escape your cities of smoke and mirrors.
I will find the beauty in being wild.”

Boys and girls of every age
Choose to be something strange.
Something more than society dictates.
Something wild they cannot tame.
