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
