How Some People Are

by Dreamcatcherie

May 4, 2014

Some people are bullies

They manipulate people in sight

They love to call people rude names

They only do it to start fights

How you heard of Tyler Perry's movies

With the famous Madea of might

Well their favorite is to call Tyler Perry

A homosexual or a transvestite

See their parents like to drink

Their favorites are beer and wine

But when the glass of liquor spills

Police come over to investigate the abusive crime

My mom would kill for E &J

With the right amount of liquor and the right amount of ice

It's the best time to ask her questions

She'll be nice at ease and concise.

See it's all about the breakfast club

The kids with parent issues

The ones that realized no difference lay

in the personalities they'd once labeled and misused

I'm a victim to some of those problems

Like being ignored or not telling the truth

But most of my problems are within myself

Things I shouldn't be worrying about in my fountain of youth

Just like in the perks of being a wallflower

When those memories from the past

Come to haunt you in your vision

And cause the happiness in your life not to last

See in this life it's hard to trust,

And also have belief

Because it means you have to lose something

And not all of us can cope with that much grief.

Cause losing someone really hurts

It breaks your heart deep inside

It shatters your perspective of everything

In which happiness is denied

That's why people are the way they are

They experience something not to great

And it changes then for better or worse

In a lifetime where conflict never inflates

So we can't blame bullies for being tyrants

Nor blame a wallflower for being so shy

Fot that is how some people are in this world

Because bliss is hard to come by

But sure enough, once in a while

That pain in the heart infinitely soares

To give you back the life you lost

So that happiness can be restored.

My name is Rejjia Camphor. I am a poet, writer, social justice activist, creative writer teacher and community organizer. I am very well-rounded and I know a lot of things which you could see through my works. I want what I write to become. Favorite Books: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Catcher in the Rye, Farenheit 451, Whip It, Siddhartha, Absolutely Normal Chaos, Thirteen Reasons Why and the Fifty Shades Trilogy. I want to be as inspirational as my favorite authors were to me. I want to give them clarity when they are feeling at their worst, and give them uplift and ideas when they need it the most. I love writing because it's the most honest way of we can choose to communicate and express ourselves. I want to make change in the world even if it means I have to be the cathedral builders of my time. I might not get to see the impact I am influencing, but at least it will be magically when it happens. I want to be the guidance in which helps society become much more than money, much more than power and control. My thoughts, words, experiences and actions will be what makes me great, not the grades I earned, or the number of Facebook friends I have. Accepting that is the greatest achievement of all, and realizing that shows that life is weird in it’s own kind of way.
