Grinch
Grinch
or Office Holiday Party
I don't want to be told
when to be happy,
or how, or why.
Not unless you want me to lie.
I think it's great
that you want to get
everyone together
to celebrate.
But I want to be asked,
and I may not say "yes",
for without the right to say "no",
what does "yes" even mean?
Sing carols, if it brings you joy,
but don't assume that I'll join you.
I sing when the spirit moves me,
not because of what you think I should be.
No matter how badly
you want me to be free,
no amount of force will work
when the prison I'm in is me.
