Watching a hard drive spin
It all comes around again

WHY can't you see
That I am just ME
And not a recycled clone
Of your pitbull's favorite bone
You gnaw on my persona
As if you're the owner
Of everything right
And you've already won the fight

Get a grip
On your self righteous trip
Open your eyes, free your brain
Before you drive me insane
With your huff and blow
Cause it's all just a show
Of your globalization
Of the personal equation

I'm not all red
But your talking heads
Paint everything 'me'
With template hypocrisy
And it's layered so thick
That you can heave it like a brick
At whatever moves
Outside of your groove

God forbid don't dishevel
Your comfort level
With original thought
Because the ones that bought you
Would tremble in angst
If you dare to break rank
With a Party plank....
Hello hello it's Me! and I'm not the devil

You want to read poetry
Into your metered bigotry
But what you can't see
Is the verse about Me
I'm not you
Or your preferred shade of blue
I'm unrehearsed
In my own freestyle verse

Wake up
Before you break up
The sanctity
Of our mutual individuality
Read between the lines
For the truth that defines
The One that is free
To be who we each want to be

Indigo, burgundy or
Ochre edged in green....
Where is the crime
In taking the time
To unpace the Walk
And just Talk
About You
And Me.

See, this is what I mean. This is already about half-rap.

God forbid don't dishevel your comfort level with original thought
'Cause the ones that bought you would get wrought up all distraught
And draw a blank if you dare to break rank with the Party plank
Hello hell-O it's Me! and I ain't the devil, that's what you just brought...

Nothing added in this verse, it's practically done... use more or bigger adjectives or something:

You want to read poetry in your metered bigotry
But what you don't see is the verse about Me
I'm not you or your preferred shade of blue
I'm unrehearsed in my own freestyle verse

Just sayin'. Go for it. Version 2. I dare you.

You do it

But yea I did think about that after I wrote stuff like 'your globalization of the personal equation' and 'unrehearsed/freestyle verse'....so idk, maybe I should have. Maybe....

Why is there no like button, nor thank you button? Why, simply why?! Is it your poem?

omg i have no idea muge.....of course i wouldn't know bcs it wouldn't show for me. But i can see 'thanks' buttons in the replies from you guys so idk, it's strange...

Yes it's all mine, i wrote it at work and posted it here from my cell.

I have 2 others that i posted recently in Poetry, wonder if those are missing the thanks button as well....

No no, I was just too stupid to see it. Now I found it. Brilliant, honey, keep up the good work! =) I'll read those as well.

Thank you so much muge! It's especially great to get feedback from friends that i know and respect on a deep personal level

:* <3
