Whenever you said
that I should be myself
the next word out of your mouth
should have been 'Asterisk',
because there's one limitation:
I must be an imitation
of your actions and
your perception;
I can be different
so long as different is you
and All that I do
must either be your decision
or my hidden vision
so I may be accepted by you
Because, God forbid
someone be arranged
in a different way
than the way you were made.
When I find me full of hate,
I realize I'm just full of you,
and you can spread through me like a disease
Yeah, be my cancer,
spread faster and faster,
and you can ******* me
and ensicken me
and say that you do your harm for care,
which isn't there,
so please, appease me
and follow that statement
with the word 'Asterisk.'
This was written today as part of an English class project. We had a slam poet come in and talk to us and he had us write our own poems. This one I wrote in about 3 minutes, and I was the first to present. Afterwards, I laughed when my friend told me that she didn't want to follow me. lol.
