Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2009-08-01 04:58 AM



I have a voice, I have a  mind,
I am what I am, who I am,
nothing more or less than,
what your naked eyes see,

I'll be me, you be you,
we will agree to disagree,
I am unique, with titles,
no one strips this away,

For I am strong, I am,
the fish swimming up stream,
no robot stepford wife here,
wrong address, my dear,

My word and thoughts,
on people with big noses,
I don't have to kiss your butt,
to be liked, loved, whatever,
I never have, I never will,
like me or leave me, love me or hate me,
your choice, still, I will be me,

I will just be me, you be you,
leave your words to yourself,
leave them in that dark heart,
that soul of death,

I will be human, alive,
breathing,

While your heart decays inside of you,
and you write about the stick,
laying on the ground,

The decaying stick, the broken stick,
the one with the stones,
that doesn't hurt the bones,

I'll be me, the way God made me,
you be you,
so just leave me alone...
for God is my judge....
the only court we all have to attend
someday...

I'll still be me, the same,
tried and true,
never changing....

I'll be me, you be you.

Strength in one's self perception is a rare and precious thing.

As ever, I see and incredible, beautiful and indomitable (spell check?) heart beating behind the seasoned smile that breathed the words. Hello Lady.
