Poetry: Everyday people

by Tasheem Stenson

Created on: November 10, 2009   Last Updated: November 05, 2010

Hate, Betrayal, Shame, Deceit;

Why must all of these things revolve around me?

Constant anger, confusion, and jealousy,

Why do you bother me?

Taunted by these things, they haunt me everyday

Can anything ever go my way?

People telling me what to do and not to do,

Don't you people get it?

I don't like you

I hate having to depend on people

Why can't I get treated like an equal?

Life is not fair but this is just insanity

I try so hard to distance myself from profanity

People keep bringing all of this crap around me

People just leave me alone, please
