The World Will Not Be Pleased

The World Will Not Be Pleased

(Poem by Serenus)

 

I can’t please everybody

That’s the bottom line

I tried to fit their mold for me

And I failed every time

 

I made myself the “nice guy”

Reliable…Mr. Dependable

Now I realize- to most of them

I was just expendable

 

Disposable, unnoticeable

Until they needed something from me

I was so approachable

Now I’m uncontrollable

Because they can’t get what they need

A change was bound to come

And it was very clear to see

Let me reintroduce myself

This is the brand new me…

 Oh you don't like it?

You know that you are

Free too leave...

because no matter what i do

…The world will not be pleased

 

I can’t make everyone happy

And yes I’m done with trying

I realize it will be the death of me

If I continue complying

 

Ask me to jump

And I’ll never again say “how high?”

Id share with you my water

In the heat of a desert

But you would just drain me dry

 

Love me for who I am

 I refuse to beg and plead

Id rather die standing up

Than live forever on my knees

 

I love the word “No”

I can now say it with such ease

Something so simple

Has absolutely set me free…

I could care less

If you don't like me

Your hate will not be appeased

because no matter how

"Perfect" i try to be

…The world will not be pleased

Yep, there's always another thing you've got to do , or watch or read, or in my case there's always some obscure south eastern form of martial arts you have to do, then you realise, the b******s are holding you back, can those c***s write poetry? Can they palm strike a tree repeatedly? Can they converse with interesting people on the Internet from around the world and hold an INTERESTING conversation!! No! a lot of humans are purely herd animals, sad but true.

"I'd rather die standing up than live forever on my knees"...whoa...powerful stuff. Because you don't just mean the physical act of "standing up" here; you mean "standing up" to all of these people trying to take advantage of you. Excellent use of the old English language there, my friend. Really good write.
