Dare to Live By Own Choice

Life is too precious to surrender to psychopathy of others

By Seema PatelPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

Some people are so naïve,

they spend their entire life,

dancing to the tunes of others—

not questioning its relevance,

I pity those folks.

It's a disservice to self,

for the satisfaction of living a life,

going at one’s own pace,

focusing on things of interest,

is unparalleled.

No joy like being true to self,

remember, it’s your right.

A mortal does not need

to waste this finite journey

pleasing the psychopathy of others,

dare to live by your choices,

let nobody stifle your voices,

break free of all shackles,

fluff up your feathers,

fly where you want,

make proper use,

of this precious life gift.
