Life's Plea



Don't control me
Allow me space
Freeze that thought
Of disrespect
Your words are weak
Against my independence

Take my life
And watch or join
My life is for the sharing
But only for the one 
With thirst for energy
That I have crafted 
With my thoughts
And molded with desire

(c) 1996 James Oliver Smith, Jr
