True to Myself

Everybody I knew

Everybody I said "Hi" to

All were scared

None ever cared

 

Each of them lions

Waiting in they're lair

Each of them waitin'

Each of them a player

 

A liar

Telling me fake statements

I'm just so tired

Of the insults that sound like compliments

 

Couldn't you just tell me

What you really feel

About me

You don't have to seal

 

That mouth of yours

Your feelings inside

Should be spilled on the floors

You can't keep them all inside.

 

Everyone's scared of me

Everyone's afraid

Nobody cares for me

They all hoped I would fade

Away

 

But I didn't

I'm still here

Force me, you couldn't

Just cry those tears

 

I'm sorry to torture you

I'm sorry to scare you

I didn't do anything

Just defended myself

 

Then all of a sudden

I'm the scapegoat

All of a sudden

I'm on the exile boat

 

And nobody believes me

Of course, nobody listens

I mean, who cares about

The little stupid asian

 

Who's too strong for

Her own good.

Who's too proud for

Her own good.

 

Who's going to like her

Who's going to care about her

Lets all ignore her

Lets all tease her

 

Its okay

She's stupid

We can just play

To her nothing's lucid

 

I'm never heard

So I make myself loud

I'm never seen

So I make myself vivd

 

But still

I'm labeled

As crazy

And still

I'm labeled

As ugly

 

But that I don't mind

Because I know its true

I don't mind

Because I know there's nothing I can do.

 

What could i do?

Punch them?

Beat them?

They'd just become more scared

 

Beg them?

They'd just laugh

Or use me

 

Politely ask them?

they'd look at me

Incredulously

And ask what happened to me

Who I was

 

So I'm stupid

And I'm fat

and I'm ugly

They all call me that.

 

Its nothing different

Its nothing new

My own living is sufficient

I don't need to be cute

 

So I express myself

The way I am

I'm true to myself

I'm not a sham

 

If you don't like me

the way I am

Then just deal with it

Or just kill me

You can get it done and over with.

 

But too bad for you

Too late for you

You should have done it before

When I had nothing to strive for

 

Now I have someone I love

Now I have someone I care about

Now I have someone I will live for

Whether or not he cares for me

Whether or not he feels the same way about me

 

He is still what I live for,

so if you want to kill me

I hope you'll wait and see

That maybe

I've changed

Maybe

Its a different song I sang

That its not me who has the blame.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
