Be strong everyday

What is your damage? What is your problem?
Yes I think your stagnant, but not quite rotten.
I have to let things go, but their never forgotten.

Spinning my wheels and wasting space.
Don't turn and run cause I love the chase.

Doing the right thing seems to bite me in the ass alot.
Am I right or am I just blind?
Don't think I'm weak when I'm just being kind.
Why do I have to be alone to find peace of mind?

Sometimes I think I need the love of the people around me.
The rest of the time if I don't watch my back they'll be the
ones that will drown me.

Positive and negative, you gotta have both....I'll take it all.

Laughing and crying my temper still flares.
Do the right thing when no ones looking.
Especially if you think no one cares.

Steady stream of BULLSHIT always comes my way good thing I know I'm strong everyday.

    It has attitude!

    I like the (in your face) attitude in this poem. "This is me, take it or leave it" message shines through here. I like it.

    “Don't think I'm weak when I'm just being kind.
    Why do I have to be alone to find peace of mind?”
    My favorite two lines.

    Really nice poem True blue
