calm up

A Poem by brainelation

written july 14 2007

people tell me to calm down,
not to make a big deal,
sometimes i feel like no one gives a s**t how i feel.
cop pulls me over and i wish i could peel,
but i know i'd get caught, so i laugh so i can deal.
to be honest, i think i have scars that won't heal,
so that's why sometimes i act like i don't feel.

no, i don't want to be bothered,
i think i may as well not have a father.
i have this girl,
i'm real glad i caught her.
i don't want to hurt nobody,
but i'll body somebody
if you f**k with my hottie.
but what does that have to do,
when i'm not anywhere near you,
i want to hear you, feel you,
and i'm back to that rhyme.
i'm staying away from crime now,
i don't want to do that time now,
i'm sick of that grime,
it's no good for me,
but that's besides the point,
maybe if i light a joint
i can chill,
but i don't want to be that ill,
i said i was done with crime,
but i guess it's only for a short time,
you know in a week i'll be on the block looking for a dime.
but i don't want to end like that,
i want to get away from the rhyme about the bong,
i'm slightly slow sometimes, my mother made me like this,
ain't s**t i can do now
i'm glad i like trying new things.

i apologize for the repetitive rhymes in the beginning. i left this as i first wrote it because it represents a totally different me as a writer, and i will wait for people to trash it before i switch it up. : ]
