Yes! For the 30th time, it is my birthday today
Yes! I was born on July 4th, didn’t I say?
It is not a coincidence that we share this independence
The country and my life, a journey of transcendence
I chose to be born in a county that takes a stand
For freedom and peace, and to further expand
I too live by a constitution, and in an organized manner
Endless achievements and results are on my banner
I love being smart and gifted in so many things
I like to open my wings, with no attached strings
I like to fly among you, without fitting in
I am comfortable being different in my own skin
I could be diagnosed as (Already Done That) ADD
You know, getting bored easily
But never the less, I take on demanding projects
Usually involving complex objects
I have strong desire to go astray
Explosive sexuality and passion, sometimes holding at bay
But if I want you, I will open up
And then I am full of surprises, yap…
I admit, sometimes I can no longer contain
The fire that drives me to reign
I would erupt like a bottle of champagne
So if you are a cork, do I need to explain?
Freedom and independence could both be costing
Me doing everything, sometimes exhausting
I would avoid asking for help as long as I can
Simply because I am such a sport, and I can
One day I would like to open to
Receive from others and especially you
Open my heart in such a trusting way
Feeling like a pyramid that does not sway
Until then, I am taking one-step a time
When everyday is a constant climb
Focusing on my school at the time
So I can begin making a dime
Then I would like to meet a guy
When I could no longer deny
That I too, want to be taken cared of
And surrender to simply being in love
Letting you sweep me off my feet
And for the first time ever, feel so complete
What a terrifying thought is to be lost in heat
And maybe fall subject to deceit
And having to retreat
After meeting someone so sweet
Yet, this is ultimately what I want the most
So I am sailing away from the coast
Towards the ocean of love that is filled with waves
Discovering my deepest heart desires and craves
But until then, when you watch the fireworks tonight
You will witness what I am here to ignite
I want you to flow and glow
And re-remember who you are from a long time ago
Let’s celebrate our independence
Let’s celebrate our transcendence
Love
Steven
