Toe.

I want to tell you why
I live my life on my toes

One,
Because this world is for big people
And I am small

And two,
Because you demand silence
And I am predisposed to roar.

Checkmate

Well, now-
The die has been cast

Please keep in mind-
I hold the cards

My ace of spades
Is that I am not a game

My body is not your chequerboard
Your princess is in another castle

I am not your pawn
I was not made from stone

The ball is in my court;
But I will not play.
