i wrote poems of love and poems of hate
i laid my soul out in every word
poured my heart out in every sentence
blanked out almost after every word
just to let my mind work
on finding the right ones
i cried over fake friends and lost the real ones
to others , who are like me
finding their ways in life
i broke down my walls for some
and built them higher for others
i lied to cover up the truth and told the truth
to end a lie
on most days i am fighting my demons
and on others i am talking to them and accepting them as my own
i walk alone on most nights , listening to people laugh at something or really don't know what their laughing for
i watch couples walk hand in hand
and think about their future
and i also see them break apart and find
others to share their life with
i read endless quotes of people who
expose their feelings for the world to see
i read pages of many books all of which each author has made me fall in love with writing
listened to a thousand songs , each gripping my soul and playing my heart strings at its own will , making my heart sing its song clearly hoping someone would sing along
i am alone , i don't have many friends nor am in the popular coward
but i am thought about alot
i am hated but don't really care
i don't love anyone but have fallen in love with words that have been written on paper
people think i like them
people think i wanna be where they stand
what people don't know is i couldn't care less
i am Me
i am perfect in my own unique way
and am the master of my own destiny
i don't need people to accept me
neither do i need to accept them
because i am not perfect and so are
they
but i would rather be me than somebody
who is chasing after people who can only
see flaws in you no matter how hard you try to cover them up
i am Me
and you are you
own it , because in a world were flaw is seen as a sin and many people tend to fake everything
you rather be you than try and become a copy
of someone who is imperfect themselves.
