Say Whatcha Like

No need to read between the lines here.

 

 

If you say I am different

I would thank you for the compliment.

 

You remark, “That I do not fit in.”

My reply, “I don’t want to conform.”

 

You believe I am outspoken

I know I’m exercising my freedom of speech.

 

So shun me if you like

For I realize that you are

To ridged to understand

The concept of going against the grain.

 

Look at me with distain

I acknowledge it isn’t hate;

But fear of what lies

Beyond your little world.

 

Call me crazy for dancing in the rain

And I will feel sorry for your smile

Faded from too much sunlight.

 

Pronounce me a rebel

I will just wink and smile

With pride.

“You damn straight.”

This reminds me about a bunch of my friends Londons poems. Yours is more lighthearted then his. Anyway, I did like this very much :)

Well Cowboy, hi 5 to the screen, are you sure you aren't Dutch? lol what a delicious piece of rebellious words I see here, I totally love, and agree!!! I can so feel the same sometimes, some never would understand, just know you do now... :)

You have an honest voice within the context of this piece... Not conforming is an admirable thing to do...

Not many are leaders, and it is powerful to be the one to have a strong mind and a strong will... to be an individual thinker... Nice write!

Faded from too much sunlight.

Great lines as is all the others. It's the people who follow their own roads that find what they want in life and often times pave the way for others to emulate.

I like the picture Of Johnny. Great poem.
