Peek A Boo

It took me  nearly 48 years to  accept the blessing of being built differently.

Trying to blend in stresses me out because so many hypocrits be trying the hood in me.

I see the stares and the double standards and to that I say peek-a-boo!

Just because I don't say anything don't mean I don't see your shadyness too!

My genuineness is consistent whether I am engaging in casual dialogue or being the poindexter for work. 

I can be the expert supporter or the guy you love to hate; that ultimate jerk.

At least I am comfortable in my skin and stay in my lane.

It was foolish of me to try to conform and play the "FIT IN WITH SOCIETY" game.

I have learned to embrace and love the guy I turned out to be, despite the years it took me to get to this mental place.

GOD definitely built me differently, mentally and physically and I couldn't be more grateful.

So continue to watch me grow with pride while you think I don't notice your attempt to judge and be hateful.

Sorry my dear I refuse to go back to that closet that you thought would be my demise.

This new me is here to stay and will continue to disregard your stalking eyes.

Your peek-a boo games are ok for now,  becasue I don't care how much envy you foolishly attempt to hide.

I am not judge nor jury GOD has that covered and will deal with you on the other side!

Being blessed to get older has taught me extremely valuable lessons about embracing my uniqueness with pride and disregarding any double standard conforming people, GOD will handle them on judgement day.
