I live to explore! <br />Not to sit in the midst of discoveries... <br />To be compared by others, <br />As the way my life should be! <br /> <br />I'm not one to reminisce, <br />With nostalgic inclinations. <br />To plagiarize legitimate activities... <br />Like others finding justification, <br />To qualify the air they breathe! <br /> <br />I live to explore. <br />Adventure and learn. <br />Not to rehearse and regurgitate... <br />Someone's steps done before. <br />So many do that and call 'that' creation! <br />As if to re-invent... <br />Stirs imaginations! <br /> <br />I live to explore. <br />Caring less if I'm ignored. <br />This gift of life is mine and I will proceed... <br />Looking for a freshness that excites. <br />My self worth and energy. <br />Instead of polluting my mind, <br />Redoing those things others find... <br />Easy without effort. <br />As they follow behind!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
