"Coming to give you more to say"

How am I supposed to behave and speak?
If I have to say if it's right or wrong...
Tell me why you always want me to be weak
This is your wish but it's not what I long....

I gave much time and more
It's not what you really gave
It's not me what I behave
But I can't lie to you anymore.
No numbers to calculate
It was just to compensate
What you never saw when I stood by you
I'm new one, I am really sorry for you.



Coming to give you more to say
What you met belongs to what I was yesterday
This is my territory on this earth
Do you respect my worth?
Bring it down
'Cuz your sea of words never hold me down
It's not pride, but I'm so proud
To be me and I say it loud
What I've found
Standing my ground

How am I supposed to live how I can be?
When you misunderstand to make 'em believe
What you think and say 'cuz you want to bury me.
I don't give up when you always see me leave
It's 'cuz I ain't gonna show up if I am worse or better
I make myself stronger, but I ain't a fighter
But I get higher when you hold me down to the floor
And you believe it is reality.
I don't hide my sex as you change my nationality
It's not a game when you can score
By hurting or destroying me more.

I'm my own boy...
I ain't your legacy or toy
You just make up a few false rumors to annoy
But you don't bother me
'Cuz I have learned
To cross the bridges and the higher walls you've burned
And this is just me...

Sounds like you are having a hard time Edgar? You need a little grammer correcting on this poem but your heart is in it and that makes for good poetry in my opinion. You must rise above the noise and be who you are. Keep writing,

Happy New Year
