A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

Kind of a shoutout in a way to a great writer and reviewer haha

"
I’m not a robot
Though I do have a few wires crossed
And a few screws loose.
That just means you can’t tell me what to do.

See I’ve got free will
And I will use it
Even if there is a fee
Though that’s not how it should be.

Cuz where there’s a will
There’s a way
And I won’t go away.
I will start a fire.
Fire at Will.
Sorry, Bill.
I’ll try to fire with grace.

Cuz I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody
Tellin’ me who I ought to be.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everyone
Tellin’ me who the f**k I am.

This is my final will
And a testament
To all my friends who got me here.
If I don’t make it further
At least it was fun
And just a note to everyone
Who said I wouldn’t make it
To turn tail and run,
I’ve made it further
Than you will ever come.

So, just a word of advice, you should turn ‘round and run.

Cuz I’m so done with everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody
Tellin’ me who I ought to be.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everybody.
I’m so sick of everyone
Tellin’ me who the f**k I am.

Well, I guess I will end this
With a final note.
A note that everyone should know.
That there is a time and a place
Where these other people matter
But in the end, it always your life
So just do what you’d rather.

Thankyou for that note :) nice poem it's funny but serious at the same time. love it. I wish i was like that all the time with everybody "I’m not a robot
Though I do have a few wires crossed
And a few screws loose.
That just means you can’t tell me what to do." awesome lines there.

Ya want to know what I think, someone sure ticked you off & you needed to vent. It happens to all of us sometime. Keep writing, Dennis. I hope maybe someday if you feel so inclined you might read my poem "A Childs Dream" especially the last three lines.

Free will is good and bad. I put myself into some bad position with poor decisions. You are correct in this poem. It is our life and we must do what we feel and need. Please don't allow mistake to change your direction. Ain't no easy road to find peace or happiness. We must fall down many time. A very strong poem. Life is hard. Better to smile and find some good in a life.
