You Can't Control My Self-Expression
I will write what I feel is truth, unperturbed by your wrath

Human life is so short,
fragile like a water bubble,
like a fallen leaf.
Yet there is so much ego,
so much hatred,
so much need to control,
to dominate another.
When I write my thoughts,
not everybody likes,
some take offense.
someone feels I am writing about them,
criticizing them,
I feel sorry for that,
it's not me,
they need to correct
their perception.
People live in different spaces,
with different experiences,
different environments.
Mindsets become different,
and then they get hurt
by each other's words,
life philosophies.
You cannot please everybody.
But asking someone
not to express themselves
just because they imagine
it's directed to them,
and hurts their feelings,
is cruel.
If you don't like something,
simply ignore it.
But I cannot stop, cannot stoop.
cannot dance to your tune.
I will keep writing truth,
may come love or wrath.
