Soul Purpose

I believe in none such as that
For your purpose is to live
Not to be that stereotypical heroine 
Many believe in the case we live just to die
If so why even live at all
The challenges we face 
Are all a trial
Not to prove ourselves to a higher power
But to fellow man kind
 Many have given up
Live solely for conformity
For this is not of my truth 
My writings hold what I see as true
I do not need others to conform nor agree to 
Such of which is stated
For this is not of theirs 
This is of my reality’s vision 
The statements if read as condescending 
My deepest sorrow to you
For that is not the intent 
Yet I will not change what is said
For once said before 
I do not lay in the field of flowers 
Just to look for the weed 
As I do not look through life
Just to be upset with one event
You may “break me” 
“tear me down” or upset me 
But my words will sing the same old tune
The need of conformity
Is the tune mankind’s playing 
My deepest sorrow if this brings upon anger
For as I write 
I write solely for the purpose of my perspective
My life will be devoted for others
As my base will stay for me 
Find this condescending as you wish
Love others without you 
Will destroy your life
I’ve seen this
Do as you wish 
For that is your trial
We will meet back once again possibly 
At the light
