All my life I've searched for love-
It is only in the recent years I have
ceased searching and continued working
on myself that I have had many
opportunities surpass me by.
I am not a slave to the love I give
nor am I slave to the love that
is given.
I will not succumb to a perpetuating
misogynistic fool that only wants me
because I want what he thinks is real
I am not a follower of faith, nor a lover
or guided by "Gods" misguided ways
You may be offended by this statement
but please remember we are all
individuals and different.
Practicing spirituality in several
different ways.
Each of us with our own opinions
Never forgetting the rhythm of
our heart beats
No opinion nor religion can surmount
the fact that consequentially-
we are HUMAN.
