Nothing appearing on my top ten list, <br />Prioritizes you... <br />As a focus to entertain. <br /> <br />I know what your expectations are. <br />And from where those habits you have, <br />Nutured to flourish those thoughts.... <br />Generating with perceptions you should rid. <br /> <br />But trust me... <br />There is not a movement made I do, <br />That awaits any opinion of yours. <br />It's just the way it is. <br />I hope that doesn't offend you. <br /> <br />I was not raised to wish for another existence. <br /> <br />It is just my nature to take footsteps, <br />Without seeking to impress. <br />Or look for anyone's approval. <br /> <br />It is just my nature, <br />To identify first... <br />With that which pleases me. <br /> <br />A happiness by any other name... <br />Just is not mine to call and claim.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
