"free from conditional belief
no agenda on our shelf
vibrant as the light of self
life flows on all by itself"
Unseeking Seeker
I have always since a young girl been a free thinker,
listening but honoring my beliefs;
yes, other peoples opinions and views still linger,
but mostly, I just let them drift off like fallen leafs.
I do like a good debate back and forth to a point,
can calmly state my opinion to all;
and always respect another persons viewpoint,
but, lets be clear for no one will I crawl.
If you do not agree with me I have no agenda,
for revenge or to make you change;
I will keep my beliefs and walk away by surrender,
even if you think I am very strange.
I am a peaceful girl and believe in self,
and there is a burning light within me;
my father taught me to believe in myself,
and I feel his life force flowing and it sets me free.
