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.        October 21, 2019

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

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
