I Do Not Mind

I do not mind that you correct me

I mind that you do it harshly

I do not mind that you have an opinion

I mind that you do not respect mine

I do not mind that it takes strength to write your soul

I mind that it is carelessly tossed to the wind

I do not mind that we are not all equal

I mind that it is blatantly pointed out

I do not mind that some are more gifted then others

I mind that this fact is pointed at , laughing

I do not mind reading everything that I choose

I mind that who , when,  and what will be dictated

I do not mind that this is all repetition 

I mind that attacks are being made

I do not mind any and all thoughts you have about me

I mind that you do not confront

I do not mind if you assume this is about you

I mind that you think all things are about you

I do not mind to mind all 

I mind my own, as I will yours

Do you mind?

I really enjoyed the feeling of this poem, as well as the standing up to abusive authority theme (interpreted). It is a very simple poem about complicated emotions.

[Holly Mason]

sometimes less is best*)*) like the comprehension skills as well...I am not a grammar queen...editors needs jobs to....but I love comprehension without it what would be the point of reading
thank you much and truly

I hate when songs get stuck in my head but if it has to happen, why not a Motown song from Smokey R?
