Make Suggestions If You Must

I have had a sense of true self since babyhood.
Others wanted to socialize me. It was semi-possible.
But my internal voice told me what I needed.
I have always followed my soul.

Perpetually believing in myself when others didn’t.
I am a painter who has accumulated thousands of paintings.
Painted by me for me, to uplift my soul, increasing my joy.
Others might make suggestions; they fall into an uncaring crevice.
