Individual

Individual

A Poem by ...

I am exercising my right to be what I am
Didn't ask you to approve or disapprove
If you don't like what you see, why stare?
Exercise your right to walk away
you are no prisoner, and
I am not following you.

It is astounding to me how many times others seek to control perfect strangers. Not to mention family and loved ones. We need to embrace the individual if we are to ever appreciate true community. It seems in our present decade int the USA the culture is begging conformity and will allow individuality only if you will keep your distance. This leads us to where we are. Either a group think or isolation. Neither very productive to the human condition.
An enjoyable statement of personal empowerment.

I love this firm and assertive voice. A proclamation of freedom from being told what you must/have to be. Loved reading it!

-- sometimes it's very important to be assertive... -- very powerfully stated, my lady...

I guess, you wrote the poetry for those prisoners who used to get jerked off watching you waving outside their prison .. & abused you real bad so you hooked those s***s real up with a jack or lifting 'em up with a real nice bamboo (your police stick) ... and then further got bled in such words ...

Whatss? What am talking 'bout, btw?

*Joking*

Well... your old writes're seemed quite drooled with poor heartaches. Hope all is well in your life now!

Ahh...says one individual to the other :))) I love your visits, my friend
I so totally agree with this poem..."I am what I am and that's all I ever can be" (turtles)

and it is easy for anyone to just walk away...rather than stand and criticize---just walk away if you don't like what you see.

Indeed, Jacob...I kinda like that you are an individual :))))))
Yep. Be your own self and don't worry about what others think. It's good to be fiercely you, as I am me.
