In the solitude of my mind
I escape from prying eyes
those who attempt to reshape
change me to otherwise.
I just have trouble grasping
how, even after they praise
the desire to modify my thinking
is brought forward, raised.
I resist those prying eyes
wonder the purpose of it
plastic smiles and grins
restless to a fault, never sit.
If I am to be praised as I am
why is there a wish to change
I see no steady continuity
just oddities and quite strange.
I remain a self thinker
is that the trouble they find
then I shall keep it inside
stay in the solitude of my mind.

Never keep it inside, but deliver the goods with all you got - no one holds a candle to you, my friend...You are the candle, the wick (lol) and the glowing flame bright in the darkness of night....
Hugs,
