To Befriend One’s Self

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Ignorance in innocence I guess that’s what you got Happy, mature, right for me is something that your not Seems to me that days gone by Are days that that flew away ‘Cos everyday that I’ve been through I lived through with you To innocence I’m ignorant, but hey I’m just a child I have no fucking place in life, or I’m worthless to put it mild Seems to be, that life to me is something of a strain Heartbroken repeatedly, and my heart can’t take the pain As walls fall down, the walls around my soul They all fall down, revealing what I sold Ignorance not me my friends it’s just my middle name Label me with negative energy, you’ll see that I don’t care now Holding back the pain, holding back the heartbreak again Hold me when I’m crying, hug me when I’m feeling the same… As every worthless ignoramus out there Every clone who lives without a care Of what is real, those who don’t want to be The personification of me, A man who is forever free I know my insides from my outsides Inside I know my face A daunting ugly picture That can’t cast a dark shadow over this place I’m at peace with me, And I’m feeling free Free as a man, as free as I am Written April 9th, 2002 © on Apr 09 2002 08:09 AM PST   10 • 0
