The Unbearable Lightness of Being



The unbearable lightness of being just me

not afraid not to give in to conformity

to be truly me

sets me free

light as a feather

wondering whether

or not I can fly

and daring to try

not weighted down by society's rules

not believing everything learned in schools

finding things out for myself that are true

being true to me is all I am trying to do

I prefer lightness

gives me delight yes

unbearable lightness floating away

I let my dreams carry me in the air

I prefer that feeling any day

this is a challenge, so take the dare




Author's Notes/Comments: 

I did this challenge poem over at thestarlitecafe.com poetry site...challenge being using the phrase the unbearable lightness of being and I got a lot of comments on it and a lot of hits with no comments so thought maybe I better share it here too cuz everyone doesn't check out both sites...so here it is...hope you enjoy it...Pam
