I am me


Alot of people judge me by appearance
But I am not that fool
For I can see the clouds clearing
before my tattoos and piercings
Until the rain starts interfering
I am not god-fearing
And even though you may not like what you are hearing
I am me

The person you always see
and perceive to be 'well known'
But it’s hard to believe that you often agree with what you see
Or hear my dear
And fear will have you
Misunderstanding and abandoning my complexity for your simplicity
So that you may better comprehend my personality
But in all actuality you know nothing about me

How dare you try and confine me to my worries
And exclude me from the loop
Ostracize and criticize me
But you will not characterize me
And my characteristics were not meant to be placed in your category
Of trendy subliminal tortures

Please excuse my mouth when its open
For the truth of your existence I may divulge
Simply so our minds may indulge intellect
I am not here to reflect but progress in new directions
Never reluctant to regret and make corrections
For the follower is always less affectionate
Than the passionate poet who's merely over proportionate
The optimist whose extraordinarily unfortunate
And tries to smoke away the reality that they're as poor as (it gets)
But still, I am me

Your foolish rumours of numerous days has you stuck in your ways
And only proves me to be factual
I keep a calm head a content existence and I keep my thoughts rational
A disoriented Impetuous conflictual intellectual
Who sometimes second guess's my aggression with discretion
Slight obsession with imperfection
Spreading depression like an infection
I am the rebel resurrection of an insurrectionalist
Perplexed, I am a flawed perfectionist
And still, I am me.

Title: Why Try...

It's natural to feel disappointed
when things don't go your way
it’s easy to think . . .
"I can't do it, so why try?"
But, no matter how scared you are
of making a mistake
or how discouraged you may become,
Never give up . . .
because if you don't try
and if you don't go after
what you want in life,
it won't come to you,
and you'll be forced to accept
things that you know
could be better . .

Success is not measured by
whether you win or
whether you fail -
there's always a little bit
of success, even if things
don't go your way -
what's important is that you'll
feel better about yourself,
for the simple reason
THAT YOU TRIED.

Title: How a true friends feels

You should know by now that I will always be around for you,
To listen to your problems if it takes a whole night through,

I’ll be there when you may need, need someone to hold,
I show that you crown and warm you when the nights are cold,

You may feel I didn’t care I wasn’t always there for you,
You may feel I wasn’t willing to do what I should do,

But let me tell you something if I could do it all again,
I’d make sure we had something else, make sure that we were friends,
I wish I could turn back time and make it go once more,
And even thou I’m hoping, it seems that you was sure

That it’s time to live your life, you have me standing by your side,
I know I feel like crying, I keep it all inside,

The moral of the story is to be what you become,
Not to hide behind the face of lives that not always comes to some,

I quench, stop, messed you around, and spread your wings for free,
And if you ever feel your seaky, please don’t come to me.
