Another poem

One day I just realized that we can not follow everything we see but rather be who we were meant to be....hope you like.

Opened eyes (c)

As I opened up my eyes
I realized
That society is telling me a bunch of lies

I realized that the greatest thing I can be is myself
Being deaf to hypocrisies telling me to follow death
The words telling me to be like every one else
Instead of being like God made me…being myself
It keep telling me to put my talents on a shelf
And lie to myself and waste the precious breath
My God gave me
to the TV who promised me wealth
I started to forget the precious things like good health

To think I almost gave it all away to be like them
I almost got rid of the wisdom and cast the gem
To a bunch of swine who don’t care
The only thing they notice is the clothes that I wear
They didn’t notice the soul, the mind, or the heart that cares
Instead they looked at the kicks, the lips, and the hair
They refuse to know me because I dare

To not care about the stares they give me
I just chose to be me and be happy
Rather than live as they do in misery

Won’t always follow what I see
But rather be what God meant for me to be
Which is being free
