So this is just a little taste of my poetry and thoughts, mostly poetry. BUT enjoy!
************************************************************************************************
Falling
Growing up, I was told to be
Everything they wanted, me to be
I'm my own person, creative; insiteful, alive.
but that doesn't matter to them, not at all
Because all they want, is to see me fall.
they don't want me to survive
I am me, not them
and I try to hold it in
but sometimes it's best to let it out
Be yourself, break away
love who you are and stay
positive, dismissive, submissive; aloud
I speak what they want to hear
But inside I board up my thoughts and ears
muffling their repulsive arogance
I try to avoid them; and with a glance
around I realize that I'm older than my years
older than their years
covering my ears
to avoid their mocking laughs
I am me.
who I"m supposed to be
I may be falling apart from your hurtful words; ask
how I ignore you
How I show you the things you do
by staying silent and fighting my impulses
to hurt you back
to make you sad
to allow the insulting words you speak, repulses
me!
I try to be
I hide to be
Sigh to be
would like to be
without you to disagree
me.
