It matters not if you think I fell

So I was left behind like a discarded shell

I kept going on my own way

From my path I did stray

And though I got dark, cold and lonely

I know that I am the one and only

Person I can truly rely and depend upon

To get me through, to achieve my mission

To do the best and be the best I can in life

Doing what I know or feel to be right

I never asked for any attention

So no judgement please I don’t need that tension

All that I do I do willingly

Trying to find a way to break free

The the chains and the shackles binding me

So I choose to be my own authority

You may not like what I believe

But they are my thoughts you see

I keep my own counsel I never forced on you

I support what I believe to be true

If you think differently that is fine by me

It’s good to have such diversity

It stops stagnation within society

And I won’t hate for this so don’t hate me

We all have different convictions

We all have different perceptions

But as long as we are tolerant and respect others liberty

And the right to act and speak freely

Where it does not hurt anyone

Then that’s what is most important

And if we can share love, kindness and peace

Then just maybe we will release

The true spiritual being within ourselves

There’s alway hope and if you check that discarded shell

You will find me still trying my best

To perseve and pass life’s test.
