I Won't Be Controlled Poem by Alexie Whitman
I Won't Be Controlled
I always did what I was told
Never made a move that was too bold
I always listened to what everyone had to say
But never could make out my own way
Always stuck to the status quo
Been always controlled like a robot from head to toe
I lived by the standards of the world
Just to be at least loved?
I don't think all of this was worth this fake "Perfect Life"
Because I need to be happy to at least survive
But I know that I can make a change
And for that I need to break out of these chains
It's time to make the "Bold Move"
Because this colorless life is what I disapprove
Now I will make everyone hear me
And this boring life...was never my cup of tea
I am done solving other people's problems
Because that made me put my life to the bottom
The people of this world only care about wealth
So now I am gonna start listening to myself!
This is your life so do whatever you wish to do; listen to your heart and follow your dreams! Never ever let anyone else control you!
Being controlled like a robot isn't what life is about. Please make your own choices and don't let this life go to waste. Love the poem, the rhymes are adorable and the selection of words is great...It just describes everything in such a unique and creative way. GOOD JOB!
2) cont'd: Alexie, Thank You for this inspirational poem that motivates me even more!
Too many follow like sheep and never pursue their dreams. It's never too late to make that 'bold move'. I'm in my retirement and never letting up on following my dreams.
Absolutely spot on! Every human being should have the freedom to live their life thevway they want to. Of course it's a challenge and we face insurmountable odds but the value of livlfe is our choice. Hope your well!

Brave utterances set aside for honest reflection. An insightful introspective poem nicely embellished with poetic rhyme and rhythm.
