menace

by Menace - Gemini

i'm always trying to be whats expected of me,
no matter where i am or what i do.
it might be paranoia i s'pose we'll see.
the only thing that feels wrong right now is me.

assessing my standards and rearranging my dress,
i'm always feeling awkward, so sometimes i hold my breath.
i act bigger than i am, even though i'm really quite small,
use to be hidden by the crowd, so standing out is my rule.

sympathy is what you make of it, i hate it,
yet i have sympathy for myself for feeling like shit.
if this is how it goes, then i reckon i'm outta luck.
gotta keep telling myself i don't give a fuck.

how much respect is earnt from my actions?
does what i do inflict a lasting reaction?
will i ever feel complete satisfaction?
only until i try and have a little fun.

i'm a troublemaker, maybe an an enemy to you all.
is that cool, or am i just being an arrogant fool?
i gotta stop taking risks that might force me to fall,
and maybe its time to start breaking my own rules.

i'm a menace.
so what? who cares? i do.
are you a menace?
if so this poems for you.

Reason for writing:

    fuck reason.
fuck inspiration.
speak for yourself.
be yourself.
peace.
