I am, I'm me

by Grant Gilbert AKA Slash   Feb 17, 2009


I am, I'm me

I am, I'm me, you wait you'll see
This life was meant for me
Oh you're so condescending
Your voice is never ending

You said I would amount to nothing
A dog had more worth than this "thing"
It's funny how the tables turned
I became a man, so you learned

I am, I'm me, you wait you'll see
If you were half the example, dad was to me
Maybe your son would visit you more
You chased him away and closed your door

Your expectations were always high for everyone else
Than they ever were for yourself
You looked down on me as a troubled youth
Course and crude and too uncouth

I am, I'm me, you wait you'll see
Look at me now, or do I stand to tall for you to see
I'm proud of who I've become
I am, I'm me, but I'm far from done

    This poem is really good.

    i couldn't possibly pick one section that i liked more than the others, it was all amazing.
    it kept my attention the whole time. and even though it was shorter, it was still very strong.

    very good job(:

    Wow Grant, the hurt crept out through your words distinctly in this one, i felt.
    I really loved how you are content with being yourself, thats something to be admired.
    I like the message that i took from this poem, i dont know if thats how you intended it, but i took it as, that its their loss for not supporting you, because you turned out just fine without their help.
    The strength in your words is incredible. I love the last line, how your far from done.. that was very good and very clever Grant :]
    5/5

    Anger and disappointment that the person, who I take it to be your mother, has never accepted you for who you are or the man you have become. You are saying to her, look at me now, I turned out okay without your help or approval. 5/5
