Life
It is what it is
We can't force it to change to make us happy

People try to make us change to make them happy
But we cannot be anything than what we already are

So tell me something,
If you don't mind

Why?

Why do you try to push your beliefs on me?
Why do you try to get me to conform to your ideas?
Trying so hard to make them mine, and make me believe them the way you do

Why do you try to get me to change who I am?
Am I not good enough for you?
Is the way I think and feel and act different than the way you do?

Good

Because I am not like you
I don't ever intend to be like you
Because what works for you does not work for anyone else
Now you may think similarly to someone else, but it's not the same

Who I am is not for you, or anyone else, to decide
It's for me to decide

Me and me alone

People cannot make me into something, or someone, I'm not
Just because they don't like who I am now

Well, if I like who I am, then why should your opinion matter to me?

It doesn't!

So let me be who I am
Let me go and live my life
Without you breathing down my neck

That's the only way I can be who I truly am

You can either join me on my journey
Or you can watch from the sidelines

Either way I will make this happen
I will be me

No judgement
No restrictions
No opinions

Just me and who I am meant to be
Apollo Hayden Jan 2017
let me flow like water,
let me be free like the birds,
respecting mother earth and the laws of the universe.
Don't try to contain me for I can be like the wind,
blowing warm and calmly or cold enough to reach the bones under your skin.
A natural living man I am, don't ever try and chain me down
with your rules, expectations and perceptions of me, for I will not be bound.
let me live, step aside and let the spirit of I thrive, don't try and imprison me with your doctrine full of lies.
Freely I should live without your prying eyes, for I'm no enemy of the state but a mighty man of Yah.
With humbleness I come and these are the words that I must say, before I take what's rightfully mine, knowing it won't be given anyway.
This is an outcry, in every line take heed or prepare for war.
If not, we are coming to take back what has never ever been yours.
Q Sep 2014
please
let me live in ignorance
this blissful unknowing
silence wrapped in darkness

this blindfold is better
than the truth you bare
the truth covered in
death and despair

take your double-edged
sword
keep your love
keep your hate

leave me be
be me leave

let me breathe
with this heavy chest
weighted by the ache
of my abused best

*s.q.
"You fulfill all my desires just by being you"
