My Life

Statement to declare that which is true.. hopefully others find it in themselves to do the same.. be yourself!!!

So you want to make a choice;

you set your sights on me.

Everyone says they want the best;

please just leave me be.

 

It's my own life to live;

if I fall it's my own fault.

Stop opening my scars;

and pouring your salt.

 

If I want to live simple;

this is how I choose to be.

Even though you don't like it;

because I seem so carefree.

 

If you choose to live burden;

I won't judge or bother any of you.

If you have greater needs of things;

that's what you need to do.

 

Please get out of my way;

let me find my own life path.

I've grown rather tired and bored;

have no more time for your wrath.

 

If I want to stay plain or not;

another choice that I make.

I'm simply not going to be molded;

cause I can see that it's fake.

I wonder why accepting people for who they are is so difficult for others? Is it because they lack the courage and freedom to be different from the masses so they work extra hard to pull others into the mass? I also get sick and tired of people trying to change me after they have told me they accept me. If someone accepts you in the beginning then they shouldn't have the need to mold or change you. That means they never accepted you but instead wish to make you into the person they feel you should be instead of the person you are. Stay true to yourself and resist those who want to make you like the rest. Your poem speaks truth I love it.

so raw......yet so subtle........and yet again so so so very true! in life, most of the times, to live happily, all we need is to be able to live life our way....none of us like to be directed and judged always in life....its simply ridiculous...the way you display power here is simply "bravo"
great flow....nice words and over all an excellent read! this will of coz go to my favz....

This is my life and I do it my way... a wonderful vent that is true to what I feel... especially when self righteous hypocrites think they know me and know what is best for me... I even have a tattoo that says primal scream-basically stay out of my face and let me live my life and I won't bother you... free will is a gift God gave us and everyone heart beats to a different drum, that is what makes us unique... sorry I am going off here, show the power of you poem and the fire it lit in me... I raise a glass a say cheers to you and your strong independence.
