Breaking Free

I’m not asking for approval,
that belongs to time
The spoken words I cherish most,
to you seem out of rhyme
I’m not asking for acceptance,
my muse rejects your praise
In darker moments light is found
—your comments weakly phrased

As long as one stands firmly behind his/her convictions, then all censures and criticisms are merely noise. Well expressed!...ab
