Panagiota Romios Poet Couplet

I Absolutely Will

Do as I please~ with or without you.
I never follow rules made for blind fools.

Since eighteen, my life has been all mine.
It’s very costly, but ring those chimes!

I just cherish, those few friends,
Who stand by me, till my life ends.

I won’t sell out for popularity.
That empty, soul-less…place to be!

Bill Baker July 14, 2022 at 3:02 PM Just be yourself and those who are meant to be friends will show up and stay. lol Glad to have you as a friend, Panagiota. Hugs, Bill Panagiota Romios July 15, 2022 at 1:21 PM So true, Bill. Plenty of daggers in my back, and so what? They showed their true colors. That is life. Many phonies for one reason or another. I do know who my enemies are. But thank God for people like you. Mental illness is loved these days. As much as that phony, Fauci, and his money making pandemic! God help us. Love, Pangie xx Freedom lovers are loathed these days.

Linda Alice Fowler July 12, 2022 at 5:37 AM You are definitely your own person Pangie. Thank goodness!! love and hugs, Linda Panagiota Romios July 12, 2022 at 11:46 AM Hi Linda. Being myself has afforded me the chance to make a difference in programs and in peoples lives. Without solid mentors, I never would be who I am. Being liked is hardly one of my goals. That is just being part of the “lonely crowd”. I am sure many here are their own persons. For me, it is a primary goal. I honor your visit and who you are. Merci. Love, Panagiota xx

In my class, she turned out to be a staunch advocate for lesbian rights... ~ Mr. NJ (Non-judgmental) Panagiota Romios July 12, 2022 at 11:38 AM Wow! My high school class of all girls went on to get married, have PhD, or became nuns. That”s Forest for you. Many married lawyers. Thanks, Gershon With love, Panagiota xx
