Bohemian


Bohemian: A person with artistic or literary interests who disregards conventional standards of behavior.


Bohemian

Some say
“James you need to be saved”
Following your bullshit
Will that teach me to behave?
Trained since birth to view the world just like you
Not my fault
I question, I read, and now I see things
From a different point of view
‘Cause I question
Some say I’m bold
Can’t just sit there and believe all that’s been told
Most of what that has been written
A lot of it lies
Finding out the truth
I see
With open eyes
I don’t need a daily reminder
Or a weekly affirmation
To love those around me
And all of creation
