Am I ?

sonnet

 

 

Am I?

 

Am I insane? Perhaps I am.

 Quite frankly I don’t give a damn

what other people think of me.

 Because at last I’ve broken free.

I don’t believe that I must do

what others may expect me to.

There is no way I will conform

to what’s considered as the norm.

My little eccentricities

are not if fact designed to please

anybody at all but me

I go my own way happily

I do not think that life should be

Taken quite so seriously

Perfect, sir.

And indeed it shouldn't.

I like the form and use of words. They all jive and work together well.

This was an enjoyable read.

I love this poem! This is the stage I loved reaching in my own life! So much thought and time wasted worrying what others think! You said it so well! Barbara
