Being Me, Being You

I decided to ignore my horoscope everyday
I'm not a typical Sagittarius anyway.
I don't need a label for identification
Life is never a straight narration.
It's the story you choose
How you react to life's muse.

I choose to no longer withdraw or hideaway
Life is for the living, not be someone's prey.
I've had enough of being quiet, so turn up the volume
And I won't stand still like a upstanding column.

Please don't watch life go by
Everyday a sigh
Asking why, why, why.

Dream it, grab it, live it,
Laugh, love and never quit.

We are all beautiful and unique
No hierarchy, we all have the right to speak
As we share the spectrum of emotions
Our heads lively with all the commotions.

Let's make the density of love an ocean
Love and kindness is always the best lotion.
Help your friends and neighbours with a grin
Then at life, we are all likely to win.

Love your way with words this is a great poem

This one touches me for some reason

Good submission and philosophy for life. Cheers!

Wow, I really love this post. Your writing makes it sound as a monologue effortlessly written in poetry. Happy to have passed this tonight!

You made me remind of something I wrote a while ago actually, but didn't have the chance to post it yet. Would love to share it with you already as I really have enjoyed your posts for some time by now!
Will tag you in the final post as token for reminding me of it (although not intentionally hah, just really enjoyed this post)

I’m not trying to be someone
Not really bothered with fitting in
If it comforts you, then call me a rebel
While I pour my cup of care another drink

I'm not questioning your labels
For ages they've been used
Just don't waste your breath
On convincing me I'm just 'a bit confused'

Very neat and creative use of the words. Worked well with an AABB style.
