A Mind Of My Own Poem by Frederick Nellist

You may not like what you see
Or agree with what I say
I believe that speech is free
Please don't stand in my way.

I give my own potential a whirl
You may do as you choose
No matter what insults you hurl
I have the right to refuse.

I am not too bold or very strong
My own decision I'll follow
It's not for you to say I'm wrong
No need for any sorrow.

No reason why we can't be friends
We have minds of our own
I think that's what nature intends
You won't be on your own.

My convictions always will be strong
With you I hope the same
You decide when you bust into song
Sorry I don't know your name.
