The man I want to be.A Poem by M. Coleman This is true in almost every situation in life. People speak nothings for truths they can't support.
a righteous road you wish for mejust what kind of man am I to be do you want recognition for your deeds or just to cover my eyes while you plant your seeds to see is to know or so you would have me think to be is to stand for something and not have to blink quit feeding me your oaths like I'm to blame quit patronizing my motives through your own shame don't stand for something that you can't describe speaking nothings for the facts you can't derive shallow words for verses you can't recite hallow fallacies for motives you can't make right don't look at me with those sad eyes baby girl it's not like you're going to lose yourself in this whirl you can keep your bleak outlook of this life intact hell, I'll even hold your hand while you take time to react look at who we've all become around your ignorant eyes that shallow heart pounding blood faster as you tell it more lies it's not us who will answer for your sins child for that to be true we'd simply cast you out into the wild no no it will be much more complicated than that you see you can stray all you want, but I know the man I want to be © 2011 M.
