People always encourage you to be yourself, Until you become somebody with who they Dont Agree- HandsomelouiiThePoet

Was I supposed

To listen

To my Uncle?

When He told me

Don't let these Dudes Sex you...

I should have listened

To my Mom, when she wouldn't

Hug me...

She enunciated

(Son Take that wig off, You look cute Tho)

There I was Standing alone,

Inside a world unknown...

I searched for Empathy and

I searched for Security...

I discoursed myself from outta Dark places...

I went to war with the Voices in my Head while searching for Sanity...

I Crossed paths with incompetent

Lovers.

Something told me that If

My heart keeps Pumping, then Don't give up!

I believed in a Bigger Dream, that only I could

See...

I set boundaries and Made a Promise,

That I will never forget to keep.

So many people are thinking that I am the same...

The one who tried to change, just to play the game.

I am No longer that little Boy,

Not anymore.

I Only accomplish what

I enjoy...

This is my life and you can't change it, but judge me if you like...

I will not be your stereotype and I hope that's alright!

People abuse you when they can not manipulate you...

People supervised me as I Flunked, but God Was prepared to Assemble me...

Motionless, I'm Standing sole with my chin up high!

So even if I May Cry, God can Wipe the Tears from my eyes🌈 through the sky!
