The World Will Not Be Pleased
The World Will Not Be Pleased
(Poem by Serenus)
I can’t please everybody
That’s the bottom line
I tried to fit their mold for me
And I failed every time
I made myself the “nice guy”
Reliable…Mr. Dependable
Now I realize- to most of them
I was just expendable
Disposable, unnoticeable
Until they needed something from me
I was so approachable
Now I’m uncontrollable
Because they can’t get what they need
A change was bound to come
And it was very clear to see
Let me reintroduce myself
This is the brand new me…
Oh you don't like it?
You know that you are
Free too leave...
because no matter what i do
…The world will not be pleased
I can’t make everyone happy
And yes I’m done with trying
I realize it will be the death of me
If I continue complying
Ask me to jump
And I’ll never again say “how high?”
Id share with you my water
In the heat of a desert
But you would just drain me dry
Love me for who I am
I refuse to beg and plead
Id rather die standing up
Than live forever on my knees
I love the word “No”
I can now say it with such ease
Something so simple
Has absolutely set me free…
I could care less
If you don't like me
Your hate will not be appeased
because no matter how
"Perfect" i try to be
…The world will not be pleased
