Do you and I'll do me


you ready to hear my story of my past but thats not me its them

the other poets speak of their past

nah that aint me thats them

watch me use my words and show you with my body language

and my expression that there is little

depression

I will let you know of my future

I am not god dont get me wrong

but I have plans for MY future

I have alot ahead of me in MY future

the inspiration I have is myself

can I inspire myself

I pay attention to my own success and my own goals

Not look at some other historic figures or big achievements that

OTHER

people have done

Just because my goal have not been reached yet does not mean

to look the other way

i make my choices

make my decisions

Not my parents my friends and my ancestors even though their dead

all of ya’ll do you while i do me

i wont change my direction for any other being

because this is my path

I refuse to have evil make me do different

its funny because

it   is    impossible

i will follow my own path as i follow my brain

Screaming

my heart is screaming to my brain

do what you do not what they do

my brain says but theyr so cool

and my heart slaps my brain to its sences

my heart can only talk to the brain

it cant moves my arms, legs, mouth and eyes

but my brain can

my heart is my soul and if soul says do me

i will do me
