With opened eyes, I reject lies. Not bound by matter, these lies I shatter. Such grand illusions won't stop me, until I see that all are free. No matter what has gone before, I still will be the open door. Behind me is all stress and strife. Before me is abundant life. It is my right to freely choose, and in that knowing I won't lose. It is my right to be on earth. Henceforth, I claim my place and worth. I claim my individuality. I claim my creativity. I claim my opportunity. I claim my right to liberty. This life has put me to the test. Great visions I now manifest. -L. M. Neptune (2013)
