What does it mean being your own authority

It means to be being abstractly free

To choose my own path and make my own decisions

For it allows to be conscious existentially

Using my own words to phrase my own thoughts

To speak with my own voice and reject what I was taught

To put my hand up and wait patiently

To be asked what my question is relatively

But I know the answer I will get is not the one that I want

Because it’s the same answer they got when they were taught

There is no free thinking where they are concerned

So I use my own unique thought which you find absurd

You cast me as strange and weird and my ideas they are crazy

But I am s critical thinker whereas you a passively lazy

Excepting what you’re taught and choosing to believe

The lies that they tell, it’s all illusory

To be your own authority is different from that

It’s questioning all I believe, every truth and fact

Questioning self beliefs are the first act

Then questiong everything else that you see

Thinking outside the box is the place to be

Not repeating old philosophies and dogmatic theories

Doing what feels good for you without others approval

While not encroaching on others freedom

Being your own authority means sometimes being alone

But don’t be afraid about solitude

For to be a unique thinker ensure

You’re wise alert and aware of that which you thought

So become a unique thinker set your inner self free

This does not define you politically

It just means that you’ve taken responsibility for your own life

Which you knows makes sense

Start existing while viewing society through you’re own lense.
