Don’t put me in a pigeonhole <br />It is the last thing you should do. <br />You do not understand my role. <br />Take note of what I’m telling you. <br /> <br />There is nobody quite like me <br />I am unique I stand alone <br />I can act independently. <br />I’m like no one you have known <br /> <br />You are entitled to your view <br />but I’m afraid that’s limited <br />You know less than you think you do. <br />But be my guest and go ahead. <br /> <br />Believe what you want to believe <br /> convince yourself you are correct. <br />It is yourself that you deceive. <br /> That you will change I don’t expect. <br /> <br />You see the world in black and white, <br />you have a neat and tidy mind <br />This does not mean that you are right. <br />Some things just cannot be defined. <br /> <br />Forget your pigeon holes my friend <br />each human being is unique <br />Though unlike you I don’t pretend. <br />It is the real you that I seek. <br /> <br />I have no time for pigeon holes <br />I want to see behind the mask <br />we wear to play to play our public roles. <br />Maybe that is too much to ask. <br /> <br />1-Feb-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pigeon-holes-for-m-lady-anna-russel/
