A friend expressed
That she sees me as
Courageous
For the way I choose to
Live life
My only reply was
“Honestly, I feel like I don’t have a choice”
Autonomy
Growth
Achievement
Self-reliance
Solitude
Truth
These values just happened to me
These values just happened to me
I rebelliously follow
What I value
Without concerning
Myself with who will agree or disagree
I cannot live any other way
I cannot pretend to hold other values
I cannot yield to what I don't value
Valuing what I value
Isn't the best way to fit in society
If I had a choice to hold other values
I can’t say I wouldn't consider
Changing them
Loyalty
Family
Obedience
Conformity
Religion
Are values that are
More aligned with
Cultures across the world
And they make life...
Definitely not easier but...
Gosh I can't even think of a
Positive word to use because all
That comes to mind is
Boring, restrictive, lacking,
Fake, frustrating, unfulfilled, destructive
Devoid of creativity and meaning,
Devoid of discovery and transformation
I rather feel like
My values happened to me
Than to feel like
I'm following the values
That someone else imposed upon me
Either way
I'm not sure there's a choice involved
My values happened to me
Than to feel like
I'm following the values
That someone else imposed upon me
Either way
I'm not sure there's a choice involved
