If you personally know me, you’d know just how gullible I really am
You could tell me the sky’s falling and I’d believe you.
Or
You could tell me you’ll change.
After the umteenth time I’ll finally realize a leopard doesn’t change its spots.
Like a wise man once said, “fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.’

Okay, maybe George W. Bush wasn’t very wise but neither am I
Everyone makes mistakes so I’m sure as hell not one to judge
But I’m definitely good at holding a grudge
So don’t ever expect a hug from me
I’m speaking to all of my past friends that used me and the people that emotionally abused me
‘Luckily’ in my case this is to everyone but my family

Yes I’m emotional but I’m only a human
And yes I’m gullible to think I’ll always have the same friends
Some come and some go, but those that really matter are the ones that are there for you when you feel all alone
No I didn’t cut my hair for you guys to like me more or find me ‘attractive’
I cut it for myself because I started to dislike how I looked and I wanted to give to those who needed it more
The idea of making some little kid out in the world smile and happy about their appearance with a fresh new head of hair,  makes me feel a little bit better about myself.
But hey, if you don’t like it. There’s the door.

From here on out, I’ll be sure to only let positive people into my life and into my arms
But without a doubt, in the end, you’ll be remembered for the things you did and the things you’d never done, the people you hung out with and those you never even spoke to
Most of you may look at me and say, wow he really enjoys talking about himself or this poem is dumb
...
I wrote this poem to tell all of you at once that you shouldn’t do or say things you’ll regret
Learn to  look above the horizon and reach out to people you’d never imagine yourself talking to
Because someone out there will reach right back and bring you to a beautiful garden where the butterflies only exist in your stomach.
Don't be gullible like me and hear one opinion and believe to be true
Don’t let a group of people let you feel blue
Just as I shouldn’t have listen to those people back in middle school who called me worthless and dumb
Because I’m only human and I think I’m **** good one
Yeah I'm gullible, you can tell me you really like me and love everything about me and I'd believe it to be true.... In reality I literally dont have the slightest clue.....

This
Present existence
Maybe hell, and I may be the umteenth denizen to agree that it is.
BUT
Also
I
Cannot ignore
The ecstasy and Paradise
I
See and feel
While
Adjacently
The
Great atrocities
Subtly and blatantly
Still
Go on,
Blood and guts
Blasting it in our faces
While I visit the park and
Feed the ducks
Thinking...
It's getting too hot.
