Test Tube
I am not a test subject.
Not some social experiment
festering away in some test tube,
waiting to be examined like an
animal trapped in a zoo, out on
display for all of humanity to
lay their eyes upon.
I am a metamorphosis of life,inhaling
the fragment of today and forging
the triumphs of tomorrow.
I refuse to be locked up and
put away.
Tossed on the side of the highway,
like a piece of trash.
I am a living breathing specimen.
One you can't handle.

Us? We are not tests. We have our own... It's called life and they want to throw all of this testing bullshit out to us. Nine Inch Nails has a song called" right where it belongs" it fits your poem in a scents. Love you write. I look forward to more.
