I Do Not Mind

I Do Not Mind

A Poem by Holly Mason

I do not mind that you correct me
I mind that you do it harshly

I do not mind that you have an opinion
I mind that you do not respect mine

I do not mind that it takes strength to write your soul
I mind that it is carelessly tossed to the wind

I do not mind that we are not all equal
I mind that it is blatantly pointed out

I do not mind that some are more gifted then others
I mind that this fact is pointed at , laughing

I do not mind reading everything that I choose
I mind that who , when,  and what will be dictated

I do not mind that this is all repetition 
I mind that attacks are being made

I do not mind any and all thoughts you have about me
I mind that you do not confront

I do not mind if you assume this is about you
I mind that you think all things are about you

I do not mind to mind all 
I mind my own, as I will yours

Do you mind?

I really enjoyed the feeling of this poem, as well as the standing up to abusive authority theme (interpreted). It is a very simple poem about complicated emotions.

I hate when songs get stuck in my head but if it has to happen, why not a Motown song from Smokey R?
