Freedom Of Speech

What do my friends think of what I do what I say
They do not always appreciate where am coming from 
I say what I feel within, I must say I think not always! 
But that's just me If I stopped to think every which way  
My mind wouldn't cope of what to think what to say 
So I say what's on my mind at the time, come what may
Some take umbrage at the words I use,
But I mean not in any way to be insulting or rude
That's just the way I see things in my world, whether I like it or not
If not I'll jump down with both feet first, worrying not if I get hurt or not
Disparagingly yes or not.. I care not if they like it or not what I do or say
Agreeable am always not what's going round in my world or not.
My way is to say what's in the forefront of my mind
Whether others agree or not what I think what I say..come what may
But am tired of being told must not say this or that or write that, 
But as I am not a child but an adult I'll think say & write whatever I choose to say
Read my words they need not anyway, whether there racy or not
At the time I think not being racy in any way..it just evolves that way
I've got an open mind In the way I see my world, it's not always worth
Jumping down one's throat if one likes not the usage of my language
I guess I know better not, it comes to mind, not whether one should say
This that or not..But my God gave me a brain whether it's good or not
I guess I must use this brain of mine, to visualise within me what I see
In my world, whether it's great or not, my world does not always agree
What I see within, why did he gave a brain just to torment me,
Or to make me think, to make sense in, what I see, for I always sense do not see 
In the things surrounding me.. I like not what I think in many ways,
Turbulence within. The ones that shun me of the things that I say
But it's a free word is it not..miss them such a lot debating in every way
Those so called friends that are not..friends in any way.
The freedom of our speech was such, umbrage we'd take not
At what we said or not, I miss those days speaking with reservations
Not, my way. if I can say not my mind's dishing out, whatever you do or say.
One of my faults must say, things the same will be not
If freedom of speech is free not, curtailed or not
I censor not in any way..
Freedom of speech for all wouldn't you say?
