PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I write the words

     that people read

they love what I say

     but do not love me

they see my picture

     and they see my hair

they don't see a suit

     and they don't see a tie

they want to show

     a picture of me

but don't like how I look

     and want me to change

do something with the hair

     and shave the face

get a suit coat

     and wear a tie

go stand in front

     of something we know

then take a picture

     so nice to see

I shake my head no

     and tell them no way

who they want to see

     just isn't me

I walk away

     I don't look back

just walk away

     away from them

I am myself

     I am who I am

I will stay just

     the same as I am

they love my words

     they just don't love me

I really don't care

     I don't write for them
