I want my certificate

Not because it will validate me

Not because I need it

Not because I can’t eat or sleep

But because it’s mine

It has my name on it

It doesn’t matter

If hate is hating on me

It doesn’t matter

If I’m hating back

The fact is that it’s mine

I may want to make

An airplane out of it

And watch it soar

I may want to create

Origami, a dinosaur

I may want to ball it up

And shoot a hoop

You never know

I may want to frame it
