Caged Freedom

Land of the free,
yet I am required to fit myself into a box.

"Tick here to fit yourself in this box of colour."
"Circle here to fit yourself in this group's box."

Land of the free,
yet there is no bubble to be me.

Why can't I just be me: My name, hobbies,
where I was born....

Why is me, as I see me, not okay?
Why is me, as defined by you, the correct me?

Land of the free,
but you must take a stand.

Take a stand?
I thought free also meant free not to?

Why is my stand, to not take a stand,
not one of your acceptable choices?

Land of the free,
