If I Can

by CyberThug - Not entered

If I can breathe
Why must I grasp for breath?
If I can reach for the stars
Where shall I step?
If I can love
Why must I limit my choice?
If I can speak freely
Why can no one hear my voice?
If I can learn
Who decides what it will be?
If I choose to believe in God
Why should it dictate me?
If I can walk
Why must I watch my step?
If I can fear
My only fear is death
