They Say

by Atowaso Sagata

They say I’m hopeless But I think I’m hopeful They say I’m empty But empty got nothing And I got something They say I’m choosey But I think that’s plain cheesy Blame it on my insecurities #1 reason why I got maximum security They say I’m in between But I think they misspelled teen Ain’t gon' stop what’s natural I know I’m beautiful Life’s a clock And I rather live my ticks before it tocks They say I’m a kill joy But I don’t wanna be This generations mass production toy I love Brontè and my coffee I’ll probably never get a hickey I write hell of a poetry They think I’m 30 But I’m just living the finer things slowly.

<p>Woah you must be on a lot of people&#39;s mind for them to think so many things about you. And you in a very awesome creative word play twist tell what you are and what you are not. Cool. Let them think what they want. You&#39;ll only be what you are. Kudos for the poetry.</p><p>plz pleez do drop by to read and comment under my newest poem too. &nbsp;Such thoughts interaction via comments feel warm in this cold world, so we can be all be friends.</p>
