Dwelling - a poem

My cousin wrote a poem called 'Dwelling.' I asked to borrow it because it spoke to me. She said I could because it sounded like me. (paraphrasing here).

Dwelling
i refuse to toe the line
and not wear my heart on my sleeve
and live in constant fear
that if i'm candidyou'll leave
that's your tripthis let me play it safe
it's not the whisky i sip
i absolutely refuse to obey
so i'm going to be honest
and tell it like i see fit
if you don't like it
tell me please don't leave.
- SS
I thank you for it Vidu.
