You Seem To Be a Verb

Don't say it's over;
It's beginning.
Don't say you're losing,
You could be winning.
Go write a letter when
You need to be heard.
You seem to be a verb.

What's the meaning
In these tones?
What's the meaning?
It's a poem.
Go call your boyfriend
When life seems absurd.
You seem to be a verb.

Everybody wants to
Shut you in.
Everybody wants to
Box you into
Something they
Can figure out.
Don't you let them,
Don't you let them.
