Creature

I'm a creature of many habits,
I defy definition, I refuse to be boxed in.
I'm unique , I'm quirky.

I'm a creature, I won't be told how to be.
You won't cage me.
I have autonomy .

I'm a creature, a member of humanity.
I live and breath,
And yet I reek of insanity.

I'm a creature, I'm free ,
I'm who ever I want to be,
I me

i really like this lou

some very minor points
'I refuse to be boxed in.' - is that what you meant?
- maybe 'i refuse to be labelled'?

'I won't be told how be'. - does it need a 'to' - 'how to be'?
'i live and breath' (breathe)

as i said - i really like this - especially the last four lines
love judy

Quite a strong statement of individuality. I think a comma between I and me in last line might help though.....stan
