To Be

After dying for him
I am reborn for myself
suited like Viola
and ready to walk,
to work among men
no matter how foreign
the shore.
Courageous and passionate,
I am also Cordelia
and unwilling
to compromise my feelings.
Yet sexy like Rosalind,
commanding
and running life
as I like it.
I have slept, and
I will dream
and choose to be.
