Simply Don't

dont
fuck with my mind
cant derail time
as each moment
collides into the next

slow motion
evidence
of inner corrosion
if your mind cant fly

they point their
holier than thou fingers
they make me sick
they want to trick
me out
from my comfort zone
my happy and freedom filled
spiritual home

i dont judge
dont condemn
i just live to be
who within
the moment i can see

no labels
no stigma
no i am right
and
you are wrong
no
no
no

i embrace you
to be who you are
be true
be true
be true

oh yes

You say it loud and clear, an ordinary truth in an extraordinary way. Perhaps not so ordinary considering how many people accept without questioning judging, condemning, labelling, stigmatisation and lies. cheers, Jess
