Perception of me

I find my strength in solace

And wisdom in my own thoughts

I find weariness in acceptance

I am in no need of others approval

I find fatigue in playing the game

I wish I could just walk away

I don’t need to be center stage

But I’d like people to read the words

That I place upon the page

Whether they see me as a fool or sage

Is up to them to decide which way

They decide to view me

It’s nothing to do with me

It’s their choice how the choose to perceive

What it is they read from me

But I always aspire to reach out creatively

For I wish to grow and extend the potential within me

And will until I draw my last breath

Then continue my journey on beyond my death.
