A Complex Human Being Free and True
Existence seen through Freedom, Love and Loyalty

I want to be free
free from bills and payments for my home
free from demands to rise with the dawn
free from worries about my work
free from sorrows for my loved ones

I want to be open
open about my feelings
open about the one I love
open about what makes me sad
open about what it means to live my life

I want to love
love the one I love
love my work
love all I create
love my life

I want to honor
honor those who do good for me
honor those who bring me no harm
honor those who support me
honor the gift of being alive

I want to be loyal
loyal to my closest ones
loyal to my friends
loyal to what I believe in
loyal to being human

For I am a complex human being
I am private and cherish those I love
I am employed, bound to heed others
I am an artist, who obeys my soul
I am a living human being.
