YouA Poem by Lawrence Brown
Hello world I have to introduce myself to you. Nobody truly knows who I am. At least I think they don't.
You see there's been a lot of talk going around, about who I am, what I am, so I'm going to explain it to you. I'm a mean onry type of person. I take advantage of people, hurt others feelings, why should I care. There's always a fool ready to be used, is it you. I laugh at the thought of being helpful, giving and loving. I wouldn't dare volunteer at a shelter, mission or food closet. So what I use drugs, drink, gangbang and carry guns,I'm not hurting you, am I? My smile hides deep pains I carry inside, that I try to hide when I see you, as I wonder am I hiding them right? It's not a secret I love fast cars, faster women and even faster cash, and if I hurt you along my journey, I guess it's God's plans. What do you see when you see me? I see you looking. Trying to figure out what I'm all about, but you'll never know me because I'm only going to show you, what I want to show. You'll never learn the dread I feel every time I step a foot outside. You'll never know the hopes, I hope and the fears I know. You'll never know how I'm doing inside and how I live a lonely life. You'll never know the tears I shed at night. Do you think you know who I am, do you think you have a small picture of who I'm describing to you. Well if any one of these words hit home, if anything I said makes you feel sad, makes you feel guilty, ashamed, or feel like I touched a nerve inside your brain. I might have been describing.... You.. You Lawrence Brown 8/22/14 © 2015 Lawrence BrownAuthor's Note
