Selfish

My thoughts may be selfish to you, 
but they are mine.

I refuse to be sift and sort
through my beliefs and ideas
to please sensitive ears.
I forbid myself from following
societies standards that shame
those who speak without fear.

My words are neither
cruel nor vicious,
they aren't meant to coddle
the already oppressed.
Yes my tongue lacks
the desired censorship,
but those desires I detest.

So judge me,
ridicule me,
think me to be outlandish.


My voice is meant to be heard,
only my silence would be selfish.

  1. I love this one! Very passionate in words and trust me I understand though you as the writer understand the true meaning for yourself behind your words. Have a wonderful day!
