I am my own person, none has the right to infringe on my individuality or privacy!: A poem

There is none like the mountain that

knows the place it stands on. None like

the fortress that understands its own defences

and protection mechanism. And there is none

like the road of antiquity that finds relevance

in every age. I am ambient in the shadows I

cast as I know their peripheries and outlines

– sometimes one, sometimes four, sometimes unseen

depending on the light thrown at me. But

these cannot be separated away from me like

cardboard cuttings. People have a right to

make judgements (albeit in their own narrow

or broad perspectives) but my prerogative

should legitimately  be a duty to myself, and a recognition of

the cavalcade of my priorities, so much as I

have always submitted myself to the cause of undying

sacrifice for others! I am not glacially drifting or a

river that can be dammed. I am a unique-coloured

sky, that only you perceive as changing colour

according to your subjectivity to light. I am just brilliant

in my own self-powered luminescence, not needing

another’s mirror to pursue my own recognition of myself!

I don’t need anybody’s comprehension of me to

tell me who I am, or what I ought and ought not to do!

The sacred place is sublime in its divinity, but the icon is

wary of being adulterated by unsafe hands. I don’t need

idolisation, as I am my own hero; and never in my entire

life of pain of sacrifice, did I ever consider seeking anybody else’s

approval or acknowledgement for the immense sacrifice I undertook!!!

You all who think you can infringe on me or impose on me

must come to terms with the fact that I will never compromise

on my convictions and belief systems no matter the external pressure!!!!

None can be a catchpole to me, for I don’t owe anybody anything!!!!

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
