Your Thoughts Are Your Own

by paninilene

You read these words As if they mean nothing to you It doesn’t matter You have no clue Though you can judge all you want It won’t matter at all Because despite what you say I’ll try to stand tall Laugh all you want Think of me different Say some bad words I’ll act incoherent Because my words are my words While my thoughts are mine alone But because this is getting long I’ll try not to drone So you’ve seen what you’ve seen Pretend it’s written in stone I really don’t care Your thoughts are your own

I like to write. I'm not that good, but I still write more than I should.
