dissent
you've twisted my good intentions,
painted me to be a monster
and i'm weak,
so I'll break
but i would never hurt you
like you say i do
in misery i begged for you to
let me sleep another night at your feet
like a dog
i'm beat
but you bare your teeth and swallow me
you think you're good, you seem to be okay
but the way you can't forgive me is something i can't take
I'm not worth your pointing finger
I'm a killer and an honest thinker
don't waste your life trying to compromise me
cuz i won't be and can't be what you want me to be
when you come back to me
when you see the rainbow only leads to deeper lies
i'll turn my back and fight the tears
and do my best to never look you in the eyes

what everyone else wants
I liked the thought in this poem. Especially the lines
"don't waste your life trying to compromise me
cuz i won't be and can't be what you want me to be"
I wish a lot of people would realize that. Relationship or otherwise, everyone has the right to be who they want to be, but some people can't be happy unless they change to be what everyone else wants them to be. Good poem.
"I don't care about your scale,
or how high I weigh in.
I can be as light as a feather,
but I'm damn good with a pen."
