Pledge

I shall remain different
I shan't follow the stream
Since I won't always be present
I might as well follow my dreams

My mind is racing and pacing
With deep & venomous thoughts
Painful knowledge that I'm chasing
Puts my heart in a torturesome froth

Yet, rise I must
Without fear or shame
Seemingly free of care and remorse
And, inadvertently, perhaps elevate my name

I am a dove
A wandering bird of time
Unconstrained by fables like love
And if loyal to my goals, I'll do just fine
