Author :Seraphis Copyright: 2001 Mystery I feel like such a disappointment sometimes When inside there's nothing but rain and mud And I feel like I'm waiting for nothing I have so many regrets in my life What I've said sometimes, my dumbest actions To me those are like inhibitions Stupid reasons that I shouldn't just be happy Why should we ever be reprimanded? I hate people who love to criticize Because they're usually the ones who need it most I am rash, clumsy, and I can't write poetry I can't sing (though I love to so don't tell me I can't) I'm modest but I hate it sometimes I'm frustrated by everything nearly all the time I often trip before I think And I stutter and get tongue-tied all the time My confidence is nothing but disguised bravado I for one Refuse to let regret and my failures Overcome or catch up with me Because I am stronger than all of you And I'll show you someday, just watch I'm not refined, cultured Nor do I pretend to me I'm hardly the richest either and I don't care I can never stop comparing myself And I should just counting myself damned lucky I used to be afraid of what I felt Leading my little disenchanted life I needed to live up to society's expectations No longer- I'm leaving those dark chains behind Unshackling myself (I'm not afraid anymore) And letting me shine through If I shock now, it's even better Let me be forsaken by the simplest of men Because I desire those things they can't understand And if there's no flow to the things I feel I say- What Do You Know?
