Dependencies

New Poem:



Dependency


Depencies, depends you see.
I sometimes believe that I cannot leave.
I wake up bored and think, "oh Lord",
Just to get up has become such a chore.

What do I think my life's become?
To think I'm meat that's over done?
To those around that can hear my sound,
I feel I'm square in a world that's round.

Do I have much left to give?
I feel like it's all I've got to live.
To give everything I have of me.
Do those around, in me, believe?

To those who feel they cannot cope,
To those who believe there is no hope.
To those who are riding in my boat,
To those who think this ship can't float.

I want you to know there is a way,
A way for those who believe they've strayed,
From who and how and what you are,
Don't measure against unrealistic bars.

Be you, I said, be yourself.
Those who love you,
Will show themselves.
Don't try to conform to the norm.
To force yourself to some ideal form.

Let's all go ahead and learn this lesson,
Being some kind of social delicatessen.
Dancing around to please everyone,
When in the end it's them who's won.

Let's stand up and raise our fists,
Let's make sure everyone gets the gist.
Who I am fits me like a glove,
All I really want is to be loved.

I don't want your deep connections,
I don't want your deep suggestions.
I don't want to keep your insurrections.
I just want to make my own objections.

Be you, I said, be yourself.
Those who love you,
Will show themselves.
Don't try to conform to the norm.
To force yourself to some ideal form.
