Don't

Do Not

By Holly SantonatoPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Don't try to confine me

Define me by what you may see on the surface

I am a deeper human being that can breathe in the ocean

I know I am different

And my eyes can change with the seasons

But I navigate and function with real true meaning

Don't point your finger that has judgment smeared all over it

I am not like you and I don't plan to achieve it

I enjoy the lessons that get thrown at me fast

I'm a see to believe type of animal that looks forward to the falls and the laughs

So maybe I do things and perceive with a different mind

But that is the human race

No two are alike

So don't come around and look down upon me

Teach me something new, something that will intrigue

This life is for lessons, this life is for growth

I'm here to experience not already know

So please don't try to manipulate my being

Just be open minded to a mind that looks forward to succeeding
