for a friend
by Kimberly BauerNo strings, no ties, I must be free to fly.
Down to try anything once or again,
To let live or let die.
The king of Charm.
Everyone loves me.
But no one has a clue.
I can't be like them.
I can't be good.
I can't be enough.
I'll never belong.
But should I be forced to try?
I see beyond the facade of humanities dull mindset
I am not bound by the fickle possessions that define these souls
I, and only I,control my inclinations
and I move with the sea that I was born beside.
I will not belong or even attempt to be like them
I have no need to hide
I Move from state to state or oversees,
Not even soil can claim me.
Living the unorthodox life of a 21st century gypsy soul.
The twisted mix of talent and refuge.
Of achievement and personal solace.
I am not a mouse in a maze.
I refuse to play. 03/27/2011 Author's Note: for a friend, about a friend. not finished yet.
