You ever feel inadequate? Like you'll never measure up to others point of view on a certain issue. Well welcome to being human, where above all things you cannot be flawed. Because flaws are viewed as vile things, things to be hidden instead of accepted and anyone who even slightly shows their flaws, they get bullied or hated upon for not being superhuman. And in no ways am I innocent, but after seeing a person being bullied for deciding too keep their innocence. I learned better than to discriminate by a person differences. I learned that our differences are our strengths and not our weaknesses. I learned that if you look beyond the skin, beyond the eyes and behind their grins. You'll see someone for what they are. Life goes on and so should you. Those people who are down-talking you for who you are, are the people who are scared of the people judging them for who they are. So instead of being themselves, they instead go with the flow of a society that has broken peoples hopes. But its not a lost hope to believe in people if you just show them how too cope. How too cope with the people who will want to destroy their goals, it is quite simple really. Take what they say, than look around at the people who have grown close. I can almost guarentee they will outnumber you with physical bodies, but in the end their friends will never hold them when they take anything more than an emotional blow. Your friends will, because they know you. The very real you.
This is my first ever poem that has been publicly posted.

I like rhymes ,
Then again ,
I find,
A lot of times ,
a message by design,
should be oiled and honed ,
Sharp ,
to  a point ,
Like a pitchforks tine  
Covered in ointment .
Grammatically correct,
an attempt  
Meant to affect the mind ,
Once achieved
It will start
traveling  into the spine
Find it's way into the heart
Deliver the elixir to the infected part ,
Never underestimate
The temptations you lay on fate  ,
The ease in which you will perpetrate hate
How great your recompense ,
when you exaggerate ,
It's like taking truth and trying to disguise it with lies.    
Even if your completely in the right
You'll look like a reprobate regurgitating flies!
Stay true or stand alone
Which you may
Either way
In truth you'll know the foundation of your  home is built on a pillar of stone.
No matter the intent it should always bare
relevant evidence.    

Specifically but not limited to
An act of defense
In essence an update to a dense mind
Containing vernacular in
Whatever dialect the situation
Will appropriate
Thus the focus should remain
On meaning and feeling
And not spent on a
Sugar coating with a limited vocabulary
Each adjective,verb placed with
A forensic precision
Should bring gravity
Opening the eyes of the spiritually blind.
Read  written or said
Only that which need be
let it be the milk of the word
Heard
and the meat be between the lines    
Less what you wanted to say
Will loose weight too swiftly
Overt and superfluous euphemism or dysphemisms
Will stall the velocity
And anything which can cause a schism between
Syntax and eloquence
Certainly and surely
Blur and disturb
Unless your like me
Speak before thinking
Backed up with a fist like an anvil

— The End —
