My View

My view of the world
is a little bit skewed
You can say it,
I don’t disagree.
But
my slightly sheltered,
somewhat skewed
world that I see
is a big part of
what has made me.

I like who I am
and I like what I do
with the life that
has been handed me.
I don’t think
that my choices
have been bad
or wrong
just because people
don’t see what I see.

Sometimes I
hold back,
and sometimes I
give more
then you would
if you were in my shoes.

But the eyebrows that raise
and the comments that drip
from your sarcastically sweet
smiling lips
won’t change who I am
or the choices I choose
For my slightly skewed
glimpses of truth
is the view that was
chosen by me.
