Getting to Valentine

First the world wants to tell you
Who you are and then you
Get to reply screw that
As if completing someone else's life
Before you get to have your own
A new life full of joyful contradictions
And abrupt departures
The chosen hardships of first loves
Before you get to say screw that
It takes some time not to settle for yourself
To shed your skin and learn to die
Not one but several selected deaths
To suffer daily for something new
Before you get to say screw death
