Just a Thought
You only have one life.
Set yourself freeHere,
I am here.
I stand before you to judge me,
Mock me if you must
Because it makes you feel better
About yourself.
Understand me.
You can't.
You can't get a glimpse of me through these
Words
Alone.
Is what I choose to be, or, rather
Apart from you.
I don't want you to infect me with our
Particular brand of insanity.
I don't want to be locked up,
Told where my place is in the world.
Who are you to set me in parameters?
You're simply afraid to break free of..
Tradition
What values do you speak of?
Have you looked at yourself closely in the mirror?
Examined yourself for who you truly are?
Do you even have a reflection?
Laugh.
Your sadness is oozing out of you.
Cry
Cleanse yourself of the sins that so clearly
Mark you.
Live,
It's alright to dance, laugh, play, sing..
Live,
Let loose your hair in the wind, really, it's no sin.
Appreciate..
Embrace the arts.
I think of flesh and beautiful things.
I wish to live and love someone who loves me for who I am,
The true me.
You, too, can be a gypsy like me.
Fight the constraints that bind you.
They've been cutting into your
Wrists for a reason.
While you've had that false composure about you,
Secretly, you've been fighting everything
That binds you.
Learn to fly
Your landscape may change, bring about
Unfathomable things.
But,
You can not appreciate sunlight
Without experiencing darkness.
How will you recognize true joy
If you haven't lived through the pain?
