Would any one else like to tell me what I’m doing daily.

I was unaware that everyone knew what was going on in my life now.

I sure don’t see you everywhere I go

So my face must be a book that you can read

Even when I’m not facing your way

But you’ve caught my eye from the side view

I guess I could spare some time to hear a story all about me.

Let me know all that I have going on in your fantasy.

Telling me my love life is out of sight

And who you thought I was with last night.

Maybe I did kiss last night

But that’s what made you ticked off right

Never mind, lets keep talking about me

And these baggy clothes that make me look bigger than you.

My rap songs that automatically make me a gangster

Even though you didn’t take the time to listen to what I was saying.

Telling me I’m dumb because I go to a community college

And I’m taking a semester off.

Little do you know that I’m blessed

And I’m working hard saving for something real.

If you read this you probably wouldn’t think

That it’s a big deal

And tell me that I can’t be a poet or a rapper

That what I’m doing is dumb

And that I need to grow up.

Tell me I need to cut my hair

That I worked so hard on to get past my shoulders

And that the pony tail and braids that I get

Are childish and unprofessional.

I can’t see any of these negative things about myself

Unless you let me know

Please come, I’d like to hear more about me.
