Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

You Can'T Hold Me Down

YOU CAN"T HOLD ME DOWN

In my life, I fought hard for 
what I wanted.
It was never, not once for fame.

Following the crowd is the weakest 
and oh, so very lame!

What I wanted and still do, till I die,
Is to sing my soul's song high as 
I possibly can to the sky.

We all are so precious and unique,
That to see someone conform?
Brings a salty tear down my cheek.

Lindsay Laurie October 22, 2019 at 7:45 PM Hello Panagiota … too right. To be yourself is a gift when all around you there is the echo of 'follow me'. Well said Panagiota - Lindsay Panagiota Romios October 22, 2019 at 8:15 PM Yes be yourself. It's quites costly as here, you get avoided. At least that's how I see it. I don't know another way to be, but me. I am just awful at putting up a front. Besides, I can't stand it! I have been this way since I was a child...a long time Thank you..Panagiota xxxo
