NONE CAN BREAK ME, BECAUSE IT�S ME!

The poem is about the person how he is, if the world can't accept the way he is, then he doesn't give a damn about how world thinks because he is what he is, and nothing can change him...one must accept the one how he or she is, changing is pretending...n

Lay as compulsion rules my existence,
Wake another day with mighty endurance;
Each instant perplexity questions mind,
Am I lone, nonentity, or one of a kind?

Fortitude sprints and hides each day,
Each night crawls back with beam as I lay;
Gamut of nameless aims deride me,
My triumph, in mind I see, I do see!

Strength became what once weakness was,
Gain I experience with my every loss-
And they think I lose and they gain,
But I laugh in mind with each pain….

Have no intellect, their faces all red-        
Fly off my words over fools’ every head!
They exhibit my ways as forlorn,
Wonder if I am a genius or some moron?

Follow them? Never did, and will not,
I am not a lamb of their herd!
Care, did I? No matter what they heard;
Bow I can’t, apologize or thank, I do not!

To love, need to demonstrate and prove,
Or at one go she will disapprove;
Love needs reasons, shoots from close range-
My love, my old weakness, I cannot change!

Despise or love, anything or anyone, I do not;
As I have me, with me, always- my perpetual knot-
Psycho I am, for them and for all,
They push me, but only they fall!

Fervor within remains like sleeping lion,
Intervene or strike not-I am an iron,
None can thrive in breaking me
Or my conceit, because it is ME!

World deems me an arrogant freak,
An Egocentric, loutish- it’s me, a bleak!
Talk is a bark, smile a curse;
Everything mine is for all a coarse!

Can’t pretend as divine soul,
It’s me, my persona, accept as a whole-
Or lay off me, offer me no sham,
As if I care and give a damn!

Follow them? Never did, and will not,
I am not a lamb of their herd!.....
Psycho I am, for them and for all,
They push me, but only they fall!....

i don know how to comment bcoz the depth and pain are too much to be judged from far

Lay as compulsion rules my existence,
Wake another day with mighty endurance

these were fantastic lines to start a piece, however I felt the rest of this piece just repeated the same sentiment with less power.

[Butterflymom]

This is amazing, and the sentiment was so eloquently expressed. This was very well done, original, and creative.

"changing is pretending..." / Truer words have never been spoken / I adhere to the words of this poem, and have for most of my life / Good writing . . .
