Create Your World



                 

                     Create Your World


Go beyond the boundaries of definition.
Swim in your cerulean seas of individuation!

Stop bowing and cow-towing to the whims of the 
masses.
Only you can decide to be you. or swim with the 
conforming classes.

I promise you, your individuality will not be liked.
You either follow them, or find yourself on a lonely pike.

Great poets are ignored, searching instead for their 
own voice!
To them, to be real, is the only valid choice.

They are not poet clowns in a circus ring.
You will never find them in a mad search for 
approval, galloping!

Passion, character, heartfelt thoughts, compassion and individuality make a poet humble, fortune and fame is not sought after, merely a satisfaction of releasing ones innermost feelings and thoughts. Great write my friend, Keep your exciting quill busy, love this poem. Hugs, Jennifer.

Good Day~Tom...decades ago, one of the best sellers was a book called "THE LONELY CROWD." I read it and it was one of many books that put my course in life on a new highway. Panagiota xx
