FREE TO CHOOSE | ArtsKeeper

Like you, I am free to choose.

I choose love,

Knowing well that,

Love may not choose me.

That matters not.

I can only have

What I wish to have,

And I wish,

To have love.

I will wear a hair shirt,

And live in the wilderness,

If I am free to love.

As much as I desire,

Love in return,

I've never had that,

So, living without,

I can have

The other side of love...

The giving of love.

You will never know

I love you,

But,

That's immaterial.

I cannot have both sides,

So,

I will have the only side

That I can have.

Love may not choose me.

You may not choose me.

But, I choose you.

I am free to choose,

And,

I choose love.

I cannot live only doing what others believe is right.

I can only live doing what I believe is right.

That will upset some people, but, will meke me happy...

And you will be loved.
