Freedom of Self Expression

True freedom
is freedom to train oneself by harnessing free will
to free oneself
From false freedom's illusion.

Darkness
A locus for expression of tears
Muffled thoughts grow vociferous
Suppressed emotions arise uprighteous
Societal demands and self interests lock horns
only to be put to rest before dawn...

 Everyone is a student and teacher,
each offering a new perspective
to this world so mimic your muse
in poetry and song; upon canvas
wood or stone, for someone needs
your expertise.

Color flows from the void and 
hands swing, sway across a canvas; 
to the music of the life;
erecting a universe.

The pulse of existence
beats out its rhythm and soul awakes
into being.

I abhor
Those that feel it’s their chore
To toilet paper my creative door
With their opinions that lack color
I’d rather hear a walrus snore
If not for self expression what’s poetry for

The
Fog 
Covered 
All deep ruts
Saturating thoughts
Released confused understanding
Angry frustrated actions common self expression
Alzheimer's disease slowly steals personality, memory, speech, relationships ...

I have a predilection 
      for the helping professions
      As well, for artistic self-expression

      I'll take my leave with this confession
      Other 'pursuits' are no more than repression
         ~ That lead inexorably to depression...

I am quiet like a mouse.
N ever raise my tone of
V oice or express myself. 
I learned quickly to  
S upress self expression.
I n case it incurred aggression.
B ecause it was obvious you
L iked me under your thumb and
E motionally abusing someone....

Positive thoughts
Mind over matter
Energy no longer scattered
Laws of attraction
Vibrational satisfaction
In every direction
Life destination
Preserves self expression
On the path of inspiration
Uplifts spiritual enlightenment
With magnetic reflection
Mirrored in joy...

desperation and solitude 
freedom of self expression 
sent me into modern day 
slavery a victim of plagery 
I began using my slave name 
kinggirlchild I found my way home 
empty and shallow my heart
racing I fell to my knees crawling
with pages in hand in this fair land
oh how grand an American poet survived...

Truly Slap In Faces

Did discover that Russia is a death trap,
And to the rest of world a major mishap;
Take advantage of;
No one ever love;
In faces Putin and Trump are truly a slap.

Jim Horn

My knowledge of poetry is limited
but still do not limit my self expression
and thinking exhibited in my poetry....

Somehow I find myself in this state
A feeling, a moment I sincerely appreciate
But when it comes to self-expression
I am lost—falling in a sick depression
I cannot express myself the way I want
These thoughts they grind, they tear—they haunt. . .
If I could tell you how I feel
It still…wouldn’t feel real...

No, you probably won't 
make it into the
    class of the millionaires
my friends
       Through your self expression
  Yet I believe you
should (as the late Eddie Birchmore said) step up to 
the mike and speak your peace
    Everyone may not 
like to hear what you 
have to say
    But have a liitle chutzpah(Yiddish for "nerve")...

Stillness of the night
Dark, foreboding, searching
Silent wish for a changing 
To break the nothing.
A lone energy
Moves about, imagining
The way to self expression
Plan in the making.
Sacrificing all
To end this darkness, and call
The might by love that creates 
And the Force took shape.

(A female lawyer whispers)

Some of my narcissistic plaintiffs write for greatness 
But the most divine I serve 

Write simply for self-expression

To embrace their sacrifices
Personal experiences and inner freedoms

So my question is

Are you 

A.

A freedom plaintiff 

Or

B.

A narcissistic native?

Miracles can happen
at the end of a rainbow.
For the curious,
for the daring,
for the courageous
who ride a rainbow,
there’s a reward
greater than gold.

World beyond imagination,
universes of elation,
songs spun long ago...
for all things repeat,
though nothing bad 
will you meet;
evil, you’ll defeat,
at rainbow’s end.

A life lived from pure feelings
and self expression,
brings joy and a sense
of peace,
even in the middle of chaos,
to live a beautiful, uncensored,
life, is what God wanted for all 
his children,
Being able to revel in the authenticity
of ourselves,
finding acceptance when our inner
demons appear,
allows us to exhale and view the
love that surrounds us....

No,you probably won't 
make if into the class of the millionares, my friends
    Through your self expression
   Yet I believe you should(as the late Eddie Birchmore said)
step up to the mike and speak 
your poetic messsage
  Everyone may not like what you have to say
      But have a little chutzpah
and when you're 
finished 
you can go to Middle Earth or Shangri-La 
for a vacation...

This is the age for which we live.

Where innocence are gone. 
Truth has been silenced.
 Self expression is nothing more than peer pressure.
Self respect lay in the hands of those that read news stand tabloids.
Inner beauty is for novels.
Passion ends in court.
Death is just life.
Addiction is just away to get away with a crime.
Abuse has no shame.
Guilt has become a pleasure.
              And
Love? What is that?...

Radical self-suffiency 
Inherent self-expression
The revolt of Self
Against unnamed masses

On what do we depend?
Support systems amend
Our style of life
Enshrined
Personal possession over collective

Addiction suffering
Is no comparison
To the radical plight
Of a world majority without money
Barely a dime
They are still alive

I have
No reason to accumulate
But am figuring the best way to give
Restore independence
To live, thrive, and create...
