-abide-

One Word #2 Word: Abide Abide, verb, to put up with, to tolerate If I were to continue walking my own pace, Instead of believing in something like a fairytale, Would I be dismissed and all alone? But surely they will watch me fail. Having those beliefs being shoved down my throat, And being told that I must abide by something unreal, How fair is that? That I can’t believe what I choose? So continue to sell lies and ignore how others feel. Having prayed for so long, but receiving no answer, Even through the worst, where were you? Now that I realize it, I must solve my own problems, I can’t just expect someone to show me what to do. I’ve found that it’s okay to have a belief, But don’t rely on it so much to where you’re blind. Open your ears to other beliefs as well, After all, the world would be better if we were kind. If I don’t believe in it, then I won’t abide, Believe as you please, but I’ll be free. Whether I was just born or I was “created”, I am a HUMAN and I am just me.
