You're No Different

From the things you hate..... '

Oh I'm no different from the way you think you are

No different from the way I am

Sometimes tortured by an arrogance

And some things still blind me in my ignorance

But, i've never been that type of guy

To speak and run, hide, cower from my own words unleashed from my own I

Intellectual children abandonded because you're different from the way I am

Different from your ideals

Weakened by the knowledge you see that you lack portrayed in how you act

Timeless cowardice of that faux confidence, sad delusional, profoundly hypocritical

No my little man, you are not the thing you so very much want to be

The things you can't see causing a blindness too profound to speak

The things you choose to see raped into something called true lies sweat shop morality

The thing you wish you'd be - every part you want to see within the self

Look no further, son, just turn around you'll see it's me

And that I know god personally, tightly bound

I even let him call himself me

And here I'm still standing and your still running...

Because unfortunately you will never be any kind of match for me

To selfish with your ignorance to be anything at all like me

When I first started writing, a person way smarter than me said “There will always be people who just don't get it. Just ignore them and concentrate on who does.” Nobody “got” Vincent van Gogh. But that didn't stop him from painting.

Keep writing. Find your voice. Somebody will hear it.

That's one way to say it sucked.

Be more descriptive though, you were not helpful... actually that review was pretty worthless. I'm not here for a pep talk pal.

Oh, you're different alright. You're certifiable in my opinion.

What I'd like to know is why you bother being such an a*****e. Can't be good for your stress levels.

[Davidgeo]

You know, this is about one of you little fake profile low class trolls. That creep in the picture is Mr Paget of David Lewis fame..... I was kind of disappointed but not entirely surprised. That guy turned out to be kind of a dick in an insidious way.

Strong words and self-images tend to have their own views. And we all know legends-in-their-own-minds just KNOW what IS and what isn't. Welcome to WC.

This was a good and effective answer toward perceived bias. Each poet has their own voice and method - which IS as it should be.

"just KNOW what IS and what isn't."

What? You're mindless.... go feel wise elsewhere. I'm not dumb enough to placate old men for no reason. Old folks home is down the way... goodbye.

[Chris]

Goodbye then... I didn't ask to be placated - just asked to listen to your voice and see if I could understand what you needed to say. You ever presented live - open mic or broadcast? Slam style?
Just askin'.

[Davidgeo]

And your still talking... just get lost dude. This s**t aint rocket surgery or brain science.... f**k off and stay fucked off.

[Chris]

and "your" is spelled you're the way you used it...

take care

[Davidgeo]

Ha, that's your little passive aggressive jab? Playing grammar Nazi on an informal comment section? What a cowardly little t**d you are. Be angry or shut the frick up, otherwise you might as well just say "I'm an intellectual p***y". I smell cowardice among your fundamental traits. Now... one more time - stop commenting on my s**t with your vapid BS. I don't like to block anybody but you are very close to getting blocked at the moment.

I am infatuated with this piece. The ending sounds the sweetest for me. I enjoyed this.

[Davidgeo]

Thanks doll.
