Having An Independent Nature Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Going against tides of unsuspecting life, wanting to not
be told what to do, having an independent nature from
birth, keeping it throughout life.

Ending the coercive actions of others, never letting them
interfere with what I intend to do in life.

Tantalizing energy becoming the strength of interior
convictions, always moving in opposite directions of
everyone else.

Enjoying their shocked reactions time and again, not
expecting to see this shy, quiet woman do the unexpected.
