Drawing attention to oneself is the attention seeking of many around us. Distractions come too fast. So our minds are always on the wander. We are slowly losing the true human spirit in us all.

I’m not out there to impress

I’m not out there

To look who’s best

I’m not out there

For any other show

Tis the thought

I always throw

I’m not out there

To judge!

I don’t ever have that grudge

I’m not out there

To impose

I live my life

Not up my nose

I just want to let me be

Live my life free

Why should I!

Always have to!

Bow down on my knees
